The Empire of Just a boy is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory gun ownership. The quiet, industrious population of 4.056 billion Just a boyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.7%.

The all-consuming Just a boyian economy, worth 379 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,498 Duckcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,231 per year while the poor average 20,829, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the roundel of the Just A Boyian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Just a boy's national animal is the Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Just a boy is ranked 82,067th in the world and 2nd in Centralias for Most Developed, scoring 66.76 on the Human Development Index.
