The Republic of East Joynesia is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 6 million East Joynesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case East Joynesian economy, worth 44.3 billion dollars 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 7,385 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Joynesia's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Joynesia is ranked 228,788^th in the world and 247^th in Forest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 223.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
