Joseje, official The People's Republic of Joseje (Josic: U Naelei'm Ripublis owa Joseje) is a country located in Asia. It was originally a land part of Vietnam from 1493 to 1595.

Flag
The red of the flag represents the blood of the country's warriors. The white creates the figure of a bow and arrow, another war reference.

Geography
Joseje is relatively large and located south of Vietnam, consisting of the mainland, commonly called Main Joseje (Majur Joseje in Josic), with the islands of Yubudyu to the east and Normeskatchas to the west.

The capital, Acédumir, is literally Josic for "grand city." It is located to the south of the Jehaojios Mountain (Pakatema Jehaojios in Josic). Jaesik, the largest city, is home to about 2,001,038 citizens.

Other notable cities and towns include Susui, Jejer, Arnaldste, and Saaskeitsu.

Physical geography
Joseje is home to lots of coal, copper, iron, and wood; iron ore is most commonly located in Mount Fandoriumaa. These are most commonly traded with surrounding nations, such as China, Japan, and Vietnam. The nation's most notable imports are electronics, oil, and plastic.

In the mid-to-late 1800s, the economy was iron focused, being the source for making pinnits, the country's currency. However, they also represented royalty. The resources began to disappear, due to them being used for weapons in the War of Jimejet (1894–1896). The loss caused an economic plummet, including a loss of miutu. The country's citizens began to become poor, an estimation of 43% of citizens being homeless or sent to secondary shelters for protection. However, the economy rose again in 1911, with a new currency called miutu installed by the national government.

Demographic
Joseje has been home to quite a variety of people. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, racism was very common, the population of that time being over 80% Asian, and any foreigners were automatically targets. In the 1920s and 1930s, more citizens were welcomed into the nation, although there is some racism against white and black citizens.

As of 2019, the population consists of several ethnic groups: The official language of the nation is Josic. The government sometimes uses Swedish for translation purposes, and languages such as English for United Nations meetings.
 * 64% Asians, 58% being native to Joseje
 * about 23% European natives
 * 6% African
 * about 3.1% Latinos, 2.4% from Mexico and 0.7% from other nations
 * 3% black Americans
 * 0.7% mixed citizens
 * 0.2% of citizens are from Australasia or Russia

The most common language in homes and in public is Josic, but the government uses Josic and Swedish. All employed people must be relatively fluent in Josic to work; Swedish and English are not mandatory but are recommended. Josic is spoken by about 59% of all citizens in the nation of Joseje, with Swedish spoken by 26%.

The most common religion is Christian, though the Josic constitution, or the Kanitushon, gives the freedom of religion.

The currency of the nation is the miutu, abbreviated as MIU.
