The Free Land of Jacobople is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 291 million Jacobopleans 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.3%.

The powerhouse Jacoboplean economy, worth 25.0 trillion Steeves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 85,850 Steeves, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, illegal immigration remains a hot topic, Jennifer Government is banned, and police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jacobople's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jacobople is ranked 278,137^th in the world and 162^nd in Philosophers for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.59 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
