The Community of Lower Janis is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Left Honourable Jordan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.597 billion Lower Janisians 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Jordan. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Lower Janisian economy, worth 278 trillion jans a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,687 jans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The tightness of border controls in Lower Janis leave a little to be desired, Lower Janis has designated Saint Jordan as its capital city, The Left Honourable Jordan has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Janis's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lower Janis is ranked 72,967^th in the world and 1^st in Verdenta for Safest, scoring 94.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
