The Sunshine Republic of Mega Jorts is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Le Premier Jortian with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.068 billion Jortians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jort City. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Jortian economy, worth a remarkable 1,283 trillion Threads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 181,651 Threads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mega Jorts's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jortianity.

Mega Jorts is ranked 3,825^th in the world and 10^th in Karma for Most Cultured, scoring 184 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
