The Monorarchist Confederation of The Culinary State of Half-Jordi is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Monarch Mimtislav ŽakoviÄ with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.131 billion Culinary State of Half-Jordians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The very strong Culinary State of Half-Jordian economy, worth 97.0 trillion Markovskiy bitcons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

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 85,776 Markovskiy bitcons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
