The Democratic Republic of Jakub is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Wictor Ruskowski with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, fear of technology, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.245 billion Jakubians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jakub City. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Jakubian economy, worth 203 trillion Jakubian Złoties a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,794 Jakubian Złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An exhibition on crab memes is currently starring at the National Art Gallery, crabs are considered a delicacy, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, and dessert dishes make up the Jakubian breakfast menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jakub's national animal is the crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.

Jakub is ranked 102,303^rd in the world and 2,552^nd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
