The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xuzhou. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jiangbeian economy, worth a remarkable 1,330 trillion facts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 196,790 facts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The past is set in stone, Jiangbeian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime, and forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiangbei's national animal is the truth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jiangbei is ranked 152,107^th in the world and 1,660^th in The East Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,391.46 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
