The Republic of Joss is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.81 billion Joss Bosses 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charvel. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Josser economy, worth 288 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,687 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, blood stains the floors of the execution room and the hands of the state, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, and lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Joss's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularist.

Joss is ranked 191,734th in the world and 3,410th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 45.89 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
