The Precious Gemnation of Jhaulzbhia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Aurore Darklight with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.286 billion Jhaulzbhians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldy. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Jhaulzbhian economy, worth 962 trillion Goldstones 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 224,594 Goldstones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jhaulzbhia's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cult of Books.

Jhaulzbhia is ranked 253,913^th in the world and 8^th in Jeinnhezslhaunia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -17.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
