The Anomaly of Joyce VII is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Joyce with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed population of 22.364 billion Joyces 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 juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joycea. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Joycen economy, worth 962 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,046 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, all beauty contests have been banned, and the insurance industry is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Joyce VII's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Worship of Joyce.

Joyce VII is ranked 181,850^th in the world and 4^th in The United Leftist Republics for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
