The Kingdom of Joppistan is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 6 million Joppistanians 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 Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.4%.

The Joppistanian economy, worth 203 billion bitcoins a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,873 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Murder suspects plead the 'there was a rat beneath his chef's hat' defense, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joppistan's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Joppistan is ranked 225,594^th in the world and 1,164^th in the Outback for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
