The Jarldom of Drigojan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Jarl Æirik Geirfinnsson with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.324 billion Vikings are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jorvik. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Viking economy, worth 563 trillion Danegelds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 54,552 Danegelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children are encouraged to chase pigeons, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drigojan's national animal is the Eagle and its national religion is Ásatrú.
Drigojan is ranked 218,073rd in the world and 14th in United Kingdoms of Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
