The Night Time Protection of Joot is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Teddy with an even hand, and remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 7.81 billion Jootians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruxpin. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Jootian economy, worth 104 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 13,428 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, euthanasia is legal, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, and Teddy is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joot's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Joot is ranked 32,576^th in the world and 28^th in Kelios for Nicest Citizens, with 19.56 average smiles per day.
