The Republic of Famockadia Jel is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Morgan Blackhand with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.98 billion Famockadia Jelians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Night City. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Famockadia Jelian economy, worth 605 trillion Eurodollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 121,582 Eurodollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Night City Maelstromers against long odds, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and the comic book series 'Morgan Blackhand and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Famockadia Jel's national animal is the Maelstromer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aldecaldo.

Famockadia Jel is ranked 286,348^th in the world and 10,795^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
