The People's Library of The Jamdoin is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Chairwoman Alice with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.631 billion Jamdonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chilladelphia. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Jamdoni economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 208,982 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony. Crime is totally unknown. The Jamdoin's national animal is the magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Jamdoin is ranked 13,162^nd in the world and 45^th in Refugia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 377.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
