The Glorious Empire of Jonkle Land is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Jonkler with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.759 billion Jonklers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkham. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.

The all-consuming Jonkle Landian economy, worth 558 trillion Jonkles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 148,499 Jonkles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

All gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, morning birdsong has been replaced by the sound of the morning patrol, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jonkle Land's national animal is the Chimera, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of The Jonkler.

Jonkle Land is ranked 17,027th in the world and 524th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 34,725.05 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
