The State of Yehosua is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.605 billion Yehosuans 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Yehosuan economy, worth 853 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 34,679 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 235,779 per year while the poor average 1,863, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, voting is voluntary, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Yehosua's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yehosua is ranked 146,671^st in the world and 4^th in Vientiane for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 66.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
