The People's Republic of Jerrangutan is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8 million Jerrangutanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Jerrangutanian economy, worth 110 billion Soviets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 13,751 Soviets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, bigly crowds of election officials can be spotted at music festivals, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jerrangutan's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jerrangutan is ranked 258,035^th in the world and 4,154^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 13,360.57 Standard Monetary Units.
