The Federal Union of Joda is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jaeris Griffon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, stringent health and safety legislation, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.926 billion Jodari 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanagrad. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Jodrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,024 trillion jiroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 207,985 jiroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, public caravans smell like litter boxes, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joda's national animal is the white tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Joda is ranked 270,870^th in the world and 665^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 97.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
