The Democratic Republic of Jolandd is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 million Jolanddians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Jolanddian economy, worth 92.7 billion dólar joans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 15,441 dólar joans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jolandd's national animal is the poodke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jolandd is ranked 269,282^nd in the world and 53^rd in Goninan for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.66 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
