The August Bastion of Jaegerpondonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jaeger Sylva with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.673 billion Jaegerpondonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sylvania. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Jaegerpondonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,374 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

High food prices have reduced the national diet to staple foods and water, it turns out that your missing Roomba has run off to join the circus, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaegerpondonia's national animal is the Earth Pony, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Invisible Pink Unicornism.

Jaegerpondonia is ranked 284,962^nd in the world and 767^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
