The Joy of Joylaria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Joylaria with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.939 billion Joylarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joy City. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Joylarian economy, worth 72.8 trillion tears of the retirement homes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,761 tears of the retirement homes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, the government is said to have a martyrdom complex, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joylaria's national animal is the whatever this thing is and its national religion is a major religion that has angels.

Joylaria is ranked 285,215^th in the world and 86^th in Sparkalia for Smartest Citizens, with 15.24 quips per hour.
