The Jingoistic States of Njen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.569 billion Njenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Njenian economy, worth 78.7 trillion Noes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 3,486 Noes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Njen's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Njen is ranked 293,351^st in the world and 6,427^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 927.47 Standard Monetary Units.
