The Constitutional Monarchy of Jamesburgh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Judith with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 34.991 billion Jacobites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Highclere. The average income tax rate is 3.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jacobean economy, worth a remarkable 9,198 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 262,894 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, and Queen Judith's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime is totally unknown. Jamesburgh's national animal is the javelina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Jamesburgh is ranked 264,118^th in the world and 58^th in New West Indies for Most Patriotic, with 0.59 flags saluted per person per day.
