The Democratic Republic of Jahd is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 418 million Jahdians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sylvestropolis. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Jahdian economy, worth 21.9 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,494 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, there's no such thing as a safe bet, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jahd's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jahd is ranked 285,107^th in the world and 1,340^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 0.34 flags saluted per person per day.
