The Colony of John10 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8 million John10ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing John10ian economy, worth 296 billion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 37,053 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the right to counsel goes both ways. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John10's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

John10 is ranked 119,128^th in the world and 58^th in Squeaky Squeakers for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 688.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
