The Imperial Commissariat of Jeffreys Gatekeeper is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.809 billion Jeffrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gate Alpha. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The thriving Jeffrian economy, worth 713 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 72,712 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,676 per year while the poor average 16,720, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, punitive tariffs protect local industry, war criminals are given full state funerals, and the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Jeffreys Gatekeeper's national animal is the Jeffrian Serpent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jeffreys Gatekeeper is ranked 36,693^rd in the world and 1^st in Jeffreys Pocket Multiverse for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 58,969.5 Standard Monetary Units.
