The Republic of Jaspertown is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Moniggo with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.507 billion Jaspesians 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 Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monitown. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jaspese economy, worth 155 trillion Monicoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 103,376 Monicoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Large areas of Jaspertown are not accessible by the public, teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and Moniggo has promised 'power to the puppies'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaspertown's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jaspertown is ranked 269,866^th in the world and 6^th in Great SHC Alliance for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.29 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
