The Federal Republic of United Jordan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 821 million are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The enormous government concentrates mainly on Commerce, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jordania . Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining industries.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Jordanian Lion , abortions are routinely performed in United Jordan's hospitals, all footpaths have tollbooths, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. United Jordan's national animal is the Jordanian Lion , which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the UJ$.

United Jordan is ranked 25th in USA and 81,843rd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
