The Mages of Jerza is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Makarov with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.693 billion Jerzans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiore. The average income tax rate is 75.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Jerzan economy, worth a remarkable 1,479 trillion jewels a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,318 jewels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
The newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Jerza" on tails, many Jerzans are their brothers' keepers, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Jerzan sovereign territory, and alcoholics are lauded as national benefactors within the halls of the Ministry of Finance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jerza's national animal is the fairy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.
Jerza is ranked 239,906th in the world and 9th in Temporary Home for Safest, scoring 17.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
