The Nomadic Peoples of Jaderan is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.884 billion Jaderanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Jaderanian economy, worth 200 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,374 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaderan's national animal is the lion.

Jaderan is ranked 185,438^th in the world and 2^nd in Lorem for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 61.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
