The United States of Jdbld is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Joe Dannatt with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 8.746 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 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Londian economy, worth a remarkable 1,569 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 179,461 BLDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. 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 7,571^st in the world and 318^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
