The Colony of JID is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 596 million JIDians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sk8town. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The JIDian economy, worth 35.4 trillion 808s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 59,414 808s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the military will start wars with other nations on a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. JID's national animal is the rapper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

JID is ranked 166,084^th in the world and 55^th in Cole World for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 635.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
