The Kingdom of Jam is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sweet Caroline with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.693 billion Jamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jamland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.0%.

The strong Jamian economy, worth 228 trillion Marmalades a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,604 Marmalades, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, Jam has designated Jamland as its capital city, and Sweet Caroline has just been declared ruler of Jam in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jam's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon.

Jam is ranked 190,776^th in the world and 28^th in Jyzeria for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
