The Website Nation of Jacobs is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jacob with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.073 billion Jacobsians 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, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jacobston. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Jacobsian economy, worth 804 trillion doubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 197,408 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and no one is worried about government policies any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Jacobs's national animal is the fossa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jacobs is ranked 285,757^th in the world and 6^th in Jacobs for Most Patriotic, with 0.19 flags saluted per person per day.
