The Johnathitanion Borderlands of Billy Bob Johnathan is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Johnny Mc Tylenhauser-Bobbsworth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, aversion to nipples, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 847 million Mexicans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyler City. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Billy Bob Johnathanian economy, worth 66.7 trillion Billys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,792 Billys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asthmatics can now suffer the effects of polluting chimneys from further away than ever before, Big Belly is watching you, a rusted hulk in Tyler City harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Hell, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Billy Bob Johnathan's national animal is the John, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Billy Bob Johnathan is ranked 290,533rd in the world and 163rd in Hell for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
