The Allied States of Jankono is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.472 billion OOFS are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Totally Normal City. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient OOF economy, worth a remarkable 2,092 trillion robucks 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 199,812 robucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. Crime is totally unknown. Jankono's national animal is the noob, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ALL OF THEM.

Jankono is ranked 3,898^th in the world and 76^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 628.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
