The Sandland of Jandol is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kigolamawa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 23.39 billion Jandolians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jand. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Jandolian economy, worth 696 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 29,782 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, Sandism has been named as Jandol's national religion, Kigolamawa has just been declared ruler of Jandol in an international press conference, and Jandol has designated Jand as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jandol's national animal is the monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sandism.

Jandol is ranked 153,497th in the world and 2nd in United Nations of the Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
