The Empire of Jiot is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 91 million Jiotians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 26.5%.

The Jiotian economy, worth 4.96 trillion Dukes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,462 Dukes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiot's national animal is the Griffin.

Jiot is ranked 293,232nd in the world and 77th in Hive for Nicest Citizens, with 1.3 average smiles per day.
