The Legend of Jedland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 27.492 billion Jedlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jed City. The average income tax rate is 48.3%.

The very strong Jedlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,829 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,530 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, foreign ambassadors never get to see what Jedland has to offer, and every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Jedlandian. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jedland's national animal is the Goose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Jedland is ranked 265,819^th in the world and 12^th in Wyndia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 116.13 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
