The Republic of BIGJOHN is a large, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 171 million MATHEUSES are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish BIGJOHNian economy, worth 4.67 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 27,332 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orange trees find it's not easy being green, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, the military struggles with recruitment, and soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BIGJOHN's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BIGJOHN is ranked 254,607^th in the world and 152^nd in Benigtopia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,535.96 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
