The Subsidized Union of Jermi

“For democracy we trust, and communism we bust”

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

The Subsidized Union of Jermi is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by J with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.429 billion Jermen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jeinburg. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jermian economy, worth a remarkable 1,444 trillion Mincoes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 266,155 Mincoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, a passport is literally priceless, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jermi's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lunaism.

Jermi is ranked 7,957^th in the world and 5^th in Palatine for Most Corrupt Governments, with 175.88 kickbacks per hour.
