The Federation of Jerma-Topia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by goober goonington with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.122 billion Jermatopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jermoidia. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jerma-Topian economy, worth 283 trillion Jermatopian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 133,446 Jermatopian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, group hugs break out during floor votes, Jerma-Topia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jerma-Topia's national animal is the jerma, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jerma-Topia is ranked 21,578^th in the world and 611^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 86.36 on the Human Development Index.
