The People's Republic of John McCountry is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 9 million Johnians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Welfare, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 15.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The John McCountryian economy, worth 398 billion Plocates a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,242 Plocates, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, it is a silent spring in John McCountry, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John McCountry's national animal is the Caecilian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

John McCountry is ranked 275,446^th in the world and 26^th in Regionless for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
