The Federal Democratic Republic of Jahass is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Epictetus with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.121 billion Jahassians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sethanon. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jahassian economy, worth 573 trillion Dahmas 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 139,044 Dahmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, and the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jahass's national animal is the Gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Jahass is ranked 118,255^th in the world and 377^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 308 billion Standard Monetary Units.
