The Republic of Jetson- is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.133 billion Jetson-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jetson-ian economy, worth 336 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 65,585 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jetson-ians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jetson-'s national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jetson- is ranked 233,488th in the world and 254th in Daylight Savings for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
