The Stratocracy of Djardens is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Djardens the glorious IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.127 billion Soldiers of Fates are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Djarden Palace. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Djardensian economy, worth a remarkable 1,705 trillion Djarden Marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, 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 amazing 332,718 Djarden Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and Soldiers of Fates visiting rural Southern Black Mamba Village can get their driving records clean for a small fee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Djardens's national animal is the Black Mamba, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Church of Ritual Combat.

Djardens is ranked 8,691^st in the world and 130^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
