The Provincialate Dáxlamic Banks of The River Jordan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.1 billion Jordanians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karvanyán. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong River Jordanian economy, worth 681 trillion Dáxlamic marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 74,854 Dáxlamic marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The River Jordan's national animal is the Hashashana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

The River Jordan is ranked 83,430^th in the world and 103^rd in Declansburg for Largest Governments, scoring 18.14 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
