“March the path to the heavens gate and grab the pole”

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

The Republic of Jerkyll is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 203 million Jerkyllians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jerkyllian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Muongs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,874 Muongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color", it's all white elephants on parade, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, and veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jerkyll's national animal is the Big Fish Lip Monkey , which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Jerkyll is ranked 113,469^th in the world and 5^th in Paradise Everywhere for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,698.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
