The Boy Band Stud of Jesse is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.753 billion Jesseans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.1%.

The thriving Jessean economy, worth 754 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,162 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military training in Jesse emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, getting your license is a rite of passage for young adults, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jesse's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jesse is ranked 84,184^th in the world and 1^st in Synagogue for Most Developed, scoring 65.86 on the Human Development Index.
