The Sadly Not Average Nation of AverageJoevlania is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by John Smith with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.782 billion AverageJoevlanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Normalville. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving AverageJoevlanian economy, worth 509 trillion Joe coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,528 Joe coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AverageJoevlania's national animal is the Cӑrsínionn's Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Averagia.

AverageJoevlania is ranked 13,660th in the world and 782nd in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 27.68 average smiles per day.
