The Kingdom of Jamesburgh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Arthur with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 44.38 billion Jacobites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Highclere. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jacobean economy, worth an astonishing 11,699 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 263,628 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, and children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested. Crime is totally unknown. Jamesburgh's national animal is the javelina, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Jamesburgh is ranked 106,841st in the world and 23rd in Gay for Largest Black Market, with 2.23 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
