The People's Republic of Joseph World is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairman Johnson with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.985 billion Josephians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skyhall. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Josephian economy, worth a remarkable 1,867 trillion Gils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 155,802 Gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joseph World's national animal is the Quagsium, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Joseph World is ranked 23,812^th in the world and 411^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
