The Sunshine Republic of Mega Jorts is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Le Premier Jortian with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 6.726 billion Jortians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jort City. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Jortian economy, worth a remarkable 1,202 trillion Threads 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 Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 178,758 Threads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill a Jortian can expect a strongly worded letter, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mega Jorts's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jortianity.

Mega Jorts is ranked 4,316^th in the world and 6^th in Karma for Highest Food Quality, scoring 211.25 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
