“From Many, One”

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

The Republic of Well-Sprung Jack is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 1.891 billion Well-Sprung Jackians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Well-Sprung Jackian economy, worth 53.7 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 28,390 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, and the true length of the coastline of Well-Sprung Jack may never be measured. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Well-Sprung Jack's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Well-Sprung Jack is ranked 70,247^th in the world and 102^nd in The Wellspring for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
