Jackal

The Community of Jackal is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 3.723 billion Jackalians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jackalian economy, worth 209 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,264 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Jackalian politicians, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jackal's national animal is the Jackal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jackal is ranked 132,639th in the world and 15th in Safari for Largest Populations, with 3.72 billion capita.
