The Happiness Corporation of TheKeyToJoy is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chad Chungus with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.603 billion TheKeyToJoyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TheKeyToJoyian economy, worth 391 trillion Keys a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 108,543 Keys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheKeyToJoy's national animal is the Joymen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Joyism.

TheKeyToJoy is ranked 27,902nd in the world and 707th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
