The People's Library of The Jamdoin is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Chairwoman Alice with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.66 billion Jamdonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chilladelphia. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Jamdoni economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 208,926 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime is totally unknown. The Jamdoin's national animal is the magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Jamdoin is ranked 260,315^th in the world and 140^th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
