The Neverending Quest of Journeyman is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.05 billion Journeymanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 40.7%.

The all-consuming Journeymanian economy, worth 909 trillion somethings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,529 somethings, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Journeyman's national animal is the something else, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Journeyman is ranked 119,186^th in the world and 1^st in WW3 people for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,732.84 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
