“The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Jingdood is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Voba with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 38.18 billion Jingdoodics love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arqua. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jingdoodian economy, worth a remarkable 4,265 trillion Gulls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,710 Gulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, religious citizens are closely monitored for signs of self-harm, being Voba has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them. Crime is moderate. Jingdood's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jingdood is ranked 231,519^th in the world and 18^th in The Lexicon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
