The Disputed Territories of Jaderea is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning kangaroo population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.925 billion Jadereans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jaderean economy, worth 353 trillion francs a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,645 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaderea's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jaderea is ranked 131,564^th in the world and 2^nd in The Zephyr for Safest, scoring 70.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
