The Pure Democracy of Jarridia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marianna Stratford with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 41.61 billion Jarridians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shelbin. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Jarridian economy, worth a remarkable 7,802 trillion Maus a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,518 Maus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
War vets look after war animals, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jarridia's national animal is the Flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Jarridia is ranked 34,528th in the world and 7th in Astyria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
