The Republic of Jandbia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 982 million Jandbians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Jandbian economy, worth 30.2 trillion tevis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,750 tevis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, the recycled air in planes is nauseating, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jandbia's national animal is the gorilla, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Jandbia is ranked 167,634^th in the world and 235^th in Starlight for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,752.32 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
