The United States of Jdbld is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joe Dannatt with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 9.143 billion Londs 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parkgate. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Londian economy, worth a remarkable 1,693 trillion BLDS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 185,170 BLDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jdbld's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Jdbld is ranked 13,906^th in the world and 480^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 185,170.43 Standard Monetary Units.
