The Federal Republic of Jearsia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 603 million Jearsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falcun. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Jearsian economy, worth 29.8 trillion Infi ~s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 49,418 Infi ~s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jearsia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Jearsia is ranked 152,225^th in the world and 775^th in Europeia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 64.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
