The Republic of Jingdood is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Voba with an even hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 14.323 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arqua. The average income tax rate is 62%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jingdood's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Gull.

Jingdood is ranked 1st in The Lexicon and 4,129th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 13 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
