The Imperial Empire of Great Jameston is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King James III with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.771 billion Jamestons are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Vincent. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jamestonion economy, worth 727 trillion Kraticas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 152,558 Kraticas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and feeling like a winner comes at a price. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Jameston's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Great Jameston is ranked 106,930th in the world and 501st in the West Pacific for Largest Populations, with 4.77 billion capita.
