The Federal Union of Joda is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jaeris Griffon with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.005 billion Jodari 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanagrad. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Jodrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,042 trillion jiroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 208,220 jiroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, the new Jodrian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, and recognizing the Jodrian flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joda's national animal is the white tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Joda is ranked 53,507^th in the world and 198^th in Europe for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,121.2 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
