The Commonwealth of Jodaco is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President George Wilson with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.856 billion Jodacoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxorfair. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Jodacoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,299 trillion Jodaco Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 335,334 Jodaco Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 985,382 per year while the poor average 89,904, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime is totally unknown. Jodaco's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roast Mastery.

Jodaco is ranked 30,119^th in the world and 1^st in United Conservatives of Asia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.12 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
