The Free Republic of Jontua is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jonttu with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.732 billion Jontuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jonborg. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Jontuan economy, worth 537 trillion Jon Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 113,645 Jon Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jontua's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Jontua is ranked 54,472nd in the world and 352nd in 10000 Islands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,643.12 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
