The States of Jamlington is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Hamilton with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 14.181 billion Jamlingtonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JamVille. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jamlingtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,167 trillion Tekles a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,312 Tekles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sometimes a single pallbearer is all you need, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jamlington's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jamlington is ranked 267,923rd in the world and 9,189th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 11.455548224 days.
