The Federation of Jaedonstan is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Vizior Sadek Slosky with a fair hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 15.075 billion Jaedonstanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Traxa. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Jaedonstanian economy, worth 376 trillion libits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,977 libits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vizior Sadek Slosky has just been declared ruler of Jaedonstan in an international press conference, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Vizior Sadek Slosky's wardrobe. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Jaedonstan's national animal is the Turkey Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Jaedonstan is ranked 285,385^th in the world and 7^th in Project Chaos for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -32.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
