The Grant of Jorca is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dionigi Pustetto with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.442 billion Jorcans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fochiessato. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The very strong Jorcan economy, worth 888 trillion livroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 57,567 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,855 per year while the poor average 14,606, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, Jorca has designated Fochiessato as its capital city, Dionigi Pustetto has just been declared ruler of Jorca in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Jorca's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Jorca's national animal is the Jorcan stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Jorca is ranked 136,567th in the world and 83rd in Grant for Most Primitive, scoring -40.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
