The United States of Jdbld is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Joe Dannatt with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 9.254 billion Londs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parkgate. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Londian economy, worth a remarkable 1,719 trillion BLDS 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 Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 185,765 BLDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', adults hang around outside comic stores to ask kids to go and buy magazines for them, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and diplomats miss flights while wandering Parkgate Airport's endless art maze. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jdbld's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Jdbld is ranked 1,229^th in the world and 49^th in Lazarus for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 130.77 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
