Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Eternal Empire of Jordaxia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.813 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pluto City. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism industries.

Jordaxia has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Jordaxia's national animal is the Goose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the generacred.

Jordaxia is ranked 2,014th in Osiris and 93,092nd in the world for Best Weather, with -367 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
