The United Municpalities of The Jerichowan Country is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Premier Jacob Kohlmann with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.137 billion Jerichowans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burg. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Jerichowan economy, worth 679 trillion Jerichowan Guldens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 164,312 Jerichowan Guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, soldiers go to war dressed in cassocks and robes, and former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Jerichowan Country's national animal is the Eurasian Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Imperial Cult.

The Jerichowan Country is ranked 28,954^th in the world and 986^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 677 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
