The Commoner's Republic of Jiaolang is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Dysfunctional Government with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.882 billion Jalians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Changdewa. The average income tax rate is 18.7%.

The Jiaolangian economy, worth 214 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,213 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The sanitised and dull music festivals of Jiaolang are famed for their reasonable volume levels, a government program is underway to revitalize Jiaolang's beaches, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Jiaolangian Navy, and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiaolang's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is NA.

Jiaolang is ranked 94,073^rd in the world and 1^st in Tardia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
