The Virgin Queendom of Joke XI is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Joke with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 27.005 billion Jokes enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Public Transport, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jokera. The average income tax rate is 63.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Joker economy, worth 490 trillion Euros a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 18,157 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cars are banned, Joke XI has designated Jokera as its capital city, The Worship of Joke has been named as Joke XI's national religion, and Lady Joke has just been declared ruler of Joke XI in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Joke XI's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Worship of Joke.

Joke XI is ranked 305,802nd in the world and 6th in Ultimate Potato Republic for Highest Average Incomes, with 18,157.59 Standard Monetary Units.
