The State of Johnston Atoll is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 27.016 billion Johnston Atollians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Johnston Atollian economy, worth 496 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 18,373 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Johnston Atoll has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Johnston Atoll's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Johnston Atoll is ranked 145,922^nd in the world and 1^st in Johnston Island for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 67.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
