The Legionary state of Jamstown is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by General Audrey pershing with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 20.178 billion Jamstownians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cape Independence. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Jamstownian economy, worth a remarkable 3,561 trillion Tacoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,489 Tacoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The media seems excessively interested in what General Audrey pershing is wearing this season, foreign leaders are advising that General Audrey pershing's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jamstown's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Followers of Eria.

Jamstown is ranked 7,217th in the world and 6th in Azure Watester Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 477.19 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
