The Federal Republic of JK239 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Marcey with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.454 billion JKians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perfection. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.
The frighteningly efficient JK239ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,820 trillion CBS a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 244,268 CBS, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
Prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JK239's national animal is the Jaime, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tokenism.
JK239 is ranked 15,559th in the world and 230th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 100 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
