“By The People For The People”

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

The Federation of Jome Sponsors is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 161 million Jomians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Jome Sponsorsian economy, worth 6.72 trillion JCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 41,718 JCoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Jome Sponsors City, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jome Sponsors's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Jome Sponsors is ranked 74,640^th in the world and 725^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 103.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
