The Republic of Jol Hal is a fledgling, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 6 million Jol Halians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The strong Jol Halian economy, worth 260 billion Musims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 43,492 Musims, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 128,581 per year while the poor average 11,560, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, thrift shops are closing their doors, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Jol Hal's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Jol Hal is ranked 150,228^th in the world and 44^th in The Global Elite for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,516.74 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
