The United States of Jolthig is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Jolthena with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 29.803 billion Jolthigians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jolthig. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Jolthigian economy, worth a remarkable 4,438 trillion Jols a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,924 Jols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are always complaining about dam builders running behind schedule, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, Empress Jolthena seems to wear red a lot these days, and costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jolthig's national animal is the White Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Jolthig is ranked 3,489^th in the world and 3^rd in The Transgender Region for Most Developed, scoring 96.76 on the Human Development Index.
