The Nation of Jorland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jordan with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.865 billion Jorlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jorlandian economy, worth 441 trillion Dark dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,144 Dark dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and one can wake up in Jorland and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jorland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Jorland is ranked 9,566^th in the world and 418^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 122 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
