The Republic of Jonathan Krantz is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.742 billion Jonathan Krantzians 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 45.1%.

The strong Jonathan Krantzian economy, worth 374 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 48,369 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Jonathan Krantz's many privately-owned prisons, surveillance cameras are banned, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jonathan Krantz's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jonathan Krantz is ranked 238,393^rd in the world and 5,119^th in eta for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.71 percentage of bribes refused.
