The Kingdom of Jokke is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.336 billion Jokkeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jokkean economy, worth 608 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,489 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jokke's national animal is the sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jokke is ranked 87,456th in the world and 1,771st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,391.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
