The Emirate of Celestial Jackalapine Protectorate is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 1.77 billion Jackalapines hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Protectorate economy, worth 60.7 trillion Shards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,311 Shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, euthanasia is legal, people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax Shards each year. Crime is totally unknown. Celestial Jackalapine Protectorate's national animal is the Spectral Spirit, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Celestial Jackalapine Protectorate is ranked 186,427^th in the world and 5^th in Nocturnals Chaotic Mind for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,076.84 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
