The Democratic Republic of Jerboistan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.776 billion Jerboistanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tovushkon. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jerboistanian economy, worth 887 trillion electrums a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,153 electrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol. Crime is totally unknown. Jerboistan's national animal is the long-eared jerboa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jerboistan is ranked 15,655^th in the world and 369^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
