The Colony of JID is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 496 million JIDians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sk8town. The average income tax rate is 31.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The JIDian economy, worth 26.5 trillion 808s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,447 808s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Juries are mostly made up of wealthy busybodies and ex-convicts, Sk8town University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and billions of 808s are being poured into a space program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. JID's national animal is the rapper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

JID is ranked 259,767^th in the world and 65^th in Cole World for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
