The Ecstatic Republic of Joviality is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Joe Kerr with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.534 billion Jovialites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merriment. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jovialityian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion Smiles a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 59,144 Smiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, citizens must pay to enjoy Joviality's pristine beaches, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Joviality's national animal is the sea otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Aquarium Therapy.

Joviality is ranked 164,341st in the world and 3,173rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 119.48466658532 days.
