The Free Land of New Jersundy is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 181 million Jersundites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.

The strong Jersundish economy, worth 9.06 trillion Schells a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,048 Schells, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Jersundish Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", chain casinos dominate the national gambling market, twice-daily toilet inspection rotas for government buildings are archived for public appraisal, and young girls often attend the same schools as their children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. New Jersundy's national animal is the Jersey Devil, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

New Jersundy is ranked 130,759^th in the world and 103^rd in New United Kingdom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,251.48 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
