The Blue Xennial Federation of Jomero is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Xavier Ximenez with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.164 billion Jomeroans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Europa. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Jomeroan economy, worth a remarkable 3,268 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 321,547 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, and the word "alcohol" is a trauma trigger for children as young as five. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jomero's national animal is the Minotaur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Jomero is ranked 4,636th in the world and 98th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 171 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
