The Republic of Jelekova is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Vera Kovacs with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 31.29 billion Jelekovans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamarina. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Jelekovan economy, worth a remarkable 6,843 trillion Kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 218,705 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jelekova's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Mos Maiorum.
Jelekova is ranked 3,053rd in the world and 6th in Europeia for Most Patriotic, with 94.74 flags saluted per person per day.
