The Warlord of Jack Sarith is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.63 billion Jack Sarithians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jack Sarithian economy, worth 675 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 101,955 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Jack Sarithian, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jack Sarith's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Jack Sarith is ranked 252,212th in the world and 5th in Poll News Network for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.79 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
