The República Federal of Republica JIM is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by JIM with a fair hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, digital currency, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.856 billion JIMS are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juanopolis. The average income tax rate is 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient nachense economy, worth a remarkable 4,348 trillion JIMPAPIERS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 313,833 JIMPAPIERS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

JIM has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement, and the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Republica JIM's national animal is the Hormiga, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristiana Catolica Apostólica y Romana.

Republica JIM is ranked 52,956^th in the world and 74^th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,199.85 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
