The Enlightened Republic of Jokeropia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.256 billion Jokeropians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.8%.

The all-consuming Jokeropian economy, worth a remarkable 5,279 trillion Silvers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 131,159 Silvers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 389,979 per year while the poor average 34,584, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Jokeropia, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown. Jokeropia's national animal is the moogle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jokeropia is ranked 92,123^rd in the world and 2^nd in South Mogs Sea for Safest, scoring 85.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
