The Federal Union of Joda is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jaeris Griffon with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.869 billion Jodari are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanagrad. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Jodrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion jiroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 207,233 jiroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Where there's smoke there's the Jodrian Forestry Department, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joda's national animal is the white tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Joda is ranked 3,914th in the world and 78th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,269.63 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
