History

Government
Every generation (16-year long period of time) has 2 representatives selected based on overall knowledge of both entertainment and general knowledge of worldly affairs. These are each selected once the youngest member of the respective generation reaches the age of 18, and reselved every five years based on how well these standard are met by the representatives compared to their respective generation.
There is also the Face of State, who is the country's best performer ouside of the generation representatives. They don't have much power and mainly act as the country's main diplomat.
Society
The guiding ideology of the Isles of Joy is Joyism, the central belief of which is that life itself is one big show, and should be lived as such. The core values of the ideology are personal growth, enjoying life, seeing the beauty of things, and being passionate. Followers of the ideology often don masks and act in extremely exaggerated ways. They usually find something they are deeply passionate about and devote their lives to it. Masks are frequently worn in public by followers as they believe that facelessness makes it so that their life, actions, and story are what really counts. Although seemingly hedonistic, most followers are willing to put themselves through incredible pain for the character arc they believe theyre on.
The few mentally stable people live on an island away from the mainland, opperating a shadow government.
Economy
