The Lemon Republic of Jigsland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Jack with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.1 billion Jigslandis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JigsCity. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jigslandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,002 trillion Jigsmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 164,392 Jigsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, end-of-year production reports state that the revolution is really going with a bang, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jigsland's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jigsland is ranked 45,738^th in the world and 771^st in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 103.92 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
