Location: Allied Nations Against Evil

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federative Union of Great Jergania and Jonland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by John Ukenye with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.39 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taccsechussetts. The average income tax rate is 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

Research into 'designer babies' is banned, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, and citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive. Great Jergania and Jonland's national animal is the Parrot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Valor.

Great Jergania and Jonland is ranked 2nd in Allied Nations Against Evil and 71,769th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 16 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
