The State of Judas Jacob is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.317 billion Judas Jacobians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The powerhouse Judas Jacobian economy, worth 739 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 31,700 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 105,511 per year while the poor average 7,097, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Judas Jacob has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Judas Jacob's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Judas Jacob is ranked 105,830^th in the world and 5^th in Libreville for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
