“Moriturus Nolumus Mori”

The Holy Imperial States of Jack James IV is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Jack James with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.568 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beijack. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling industries.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a problem. Jack James IV's national animal is the foreigner, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Jack-tao, and its currency is the Jack Credit.

Jack James IV is ranked 2441st in the region and 52,264th in the world for Best Weather.
