Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Isle of James is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chadley McDarylson with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.37 billion Isle of Jamesians 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 Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of James City. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Isle of Jamesian economy, worth 309 trillion PoeTaToes 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 70,799 PoeTaToes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, proletariat workers identify less with the hammer and sickle and more with the touchscreen and phone charger, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle of James's national animal is the Alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Potatoism.

Isle of James is ranked 52,577^th in the world and 3,156^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
