The Social Paradise of Jango Lando is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ferdinand de Yalt with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 5.143 billion Jango Lando have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lando Lock. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jango Citizen economy, worth 711 trillion Jango Dollars 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 138,302 Jango Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, jury duty means front row seats to a spectacular show, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jango Lando's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Baptist.

Jango Lando is ranked 208,834^th in the world and 8,757^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.79 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
