The Free Land of JS is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.017 billion JSians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.8%.

The frighteningly efficient JSian economy, worth a remarkable 1,111 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,248 golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 626,228 per year while the poor average 13,421, a ratio of 46.7 to 1.

Parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, citizens re-mortgage their homes to buy lottery tickets, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JS's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

JS is ranked 268,255th in the world and 7th in Inferno Stellaria for Safest, scoring 20.6 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
