The Dream Nation of Jhino is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ulman I with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 24.595 billion Jhinoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jhina. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Jhinoan economy, worth 622 trillion Juxes 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 25,325 Juxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The lizzard is a protected species, open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Jhina. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jhino's national animal is the lizzard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jhinoism.

Jhino is ranked 184,516th in the world and 1st in Eretz Peninsula for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
