The Military Dictatorship of Jamaican empire is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Adolf Hitler with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.168 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Woodchip Exports.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Jamaican empire to be bombproof, and Red Cross demand for body bags are rising while sutures are decreasing. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Jamaican empire's national animal is the german shepard, and its currency is the euro.

Jamaican empire is ranked 38th in Avalon and 91,842nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
