The People's Republic of Jokaria is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 335 million Jokarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalon. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Jokarian economy, worth 22.9 trillion Jokariertis 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 68,350 Jokariertis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jokaria's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jokaria is ranked 105,445^th in the world and 401^st in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 68,350.18 Standard Monetary Units.
