“Strength, Unity, Prosperity”

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

The Free Land of Northern Jibland is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 179 million Northern Jiblandians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Northern Jiblandian economy, worth 7.66 trillion bucks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,784 bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, hedgehogs are considered a delicacy, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Northern Jibland's national animal is the hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northern Jibland is ranked 74,924^th in the world and 162^nd in Conch Kingdom for Highest Drug Use, scoring 80.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
