The Free Republic of Jade Tigers is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Representative Zhon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.802 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manika Kiritam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, graffiti graces every city's streets, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Jade Tigers's national animal is the jed harimau, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Batai, and its currency is the matibu.

Jade Tigers is ranked 15th in International Democratic Union and 17,542nd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 18 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
