The Precious Gemnation of Jharznelhe is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Gabriella Darklight with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.541 billion Jharznelheans 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 large, 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 Garnitia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Jharznelhean economy, worth a remarkable 3,767 trillion Garnets 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 357,379 Garnets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Garnitia Parrots against long odds, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime is totally unknown. Jharznelhe's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of Books.

Jharznelhe is ranked 172,147^th in the world and 26^th in Jeinnhezslhaunia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 114.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
