The Dominion of Jolifongrouno is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 112 million Jolifongrounoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Jolifon economy, worth 4.08 trillion kuls a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,402 kuls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, soldiers go to war dressed in cassocks and robes, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, and the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jolifongrouno's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Jolifongrouno is ranked 288,712th in the world and 175th in Karma for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
