The Occidental People's Republic of Josepania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by El Presidente Jose David Costantino with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The compassionate, humorless population of 28.368 billion Josepanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmira. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Josepanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,907 trillion gold pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 278,746 gold pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby El Presidente Jose David Costantino Pics" has made El Presidente Jose David Costantino's mom a celebrity, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime is totally unknown. Josepania's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Communionist Liberationist Catholicism.

Josepania is ranked 13,370th in the world and 97th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 56.82 flags saluted per person per day.
