The Republic of John Price is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, devout population of 9.029 billion John Priceans 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 28.7%.

The strong John Pricean economy, worth 420 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,466 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, Leader can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, and high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Price's national animal is the task force operative, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

John Price is ranked 2,773^rd in the world and 1^st in Remembrance for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,583.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
