The Republic of John Senate is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 2.231 billion John Senateans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Public Transport, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The John Senatean economy, worth 94.1 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,196 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Senate's national animal is the Gonk Droid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

John Senate is ranked 253,234^th in the world and 206^th in Stars Above for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,611.56 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
