The High Athelingric of Jataopia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.779 billion Jataopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Jataopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,400 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,552 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 584,347 per year while the poor average 30,869, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Jataopia's pristine beaches, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and fans doing the wave routinely disrupt the finals of Go tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jataopia's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Jataopia is ranked 9,422^nd in the world and 2^nd in Snep for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 90.62 Effective Tax Rate.
