The Clueless Penguin Republic of South Jenstown is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pedro Ramirez with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 33.865 billion Jeniacs love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, socially-minded government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roccia Lucida. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Jeniac economy, worth an astonishing 10,114 trillion shiny rocks 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 298,671 shiny rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Jeniac weed picker are way up, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Pedro Ramirez's wardrobe, and hay has been added to school cafeteria menus. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. South Jenstown's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

South Jenstown is ranked 293,810^th in the world and 31^st in Antarctic Oasis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
