The Republic of Janeland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 652 million Janelandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Janelandian economy, worth 28.6 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,914 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Populations of two-headed Pigs have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, homophobia is off the menu, and traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Janeland's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Janeland is ranked 141,323^rd in the world and 192^nd in Crimson Spire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 69.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
