The Jainist Theocracy of JACJ is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by King Jamill with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.347 billion Jacjians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacifism City. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Jacjian economy, worth a remarkable 1,297 trillion Jagians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 176,571 Jagians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JACJ's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jainism.

JACJ is ranked 16,229th in the world and 13th in Communitas for Highest Average Incomes, with 176,571.69 Standard Monetary Units.
