The Democratic Republic of Jerboistan is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.918 billion Jerboistanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tovushkon. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jerboistanian economy, worth 903 trillion electrums a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,060 electrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, cops in Tovushkon spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, no-one ever lasts longer than a week on a life support machine, and it's never "just a game" with Jerboistanian sports fans. Crime is totally unknown. Jerboistan's national animal is the long-eared jerboa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jerboistan is ranked 217,974^th in the world and 3,737^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -3.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
