The Democratic Republic of Jordkloden is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Bjørnar Thomassen with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.422 billion Jords enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midten. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Jorden economy, worth a remarkable 2,945 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 179,340 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, the aims of top-secret Jorden science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jordkloden's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jordkloden is ranked 307,624^th in the world and 936^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Primitive, scoring -406.94 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
