The Democratic Republic of Mocking Jay is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 289 million Mocking Jayians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The strong Mocking Jayian economy, worth 16.3 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 56,408 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and annual government budgets include a sizeable spend on "making things look fabulous". Crime is moderate. Mocking Jay's national animal is the Mockingjay.

Mocking Jay is ranked 319,071^st in the world and 207^th in Benigtopia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 293.18 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
