The Jammy Country of Jamelopely is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Immortal God King the Rt Hon Lord Bacon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, feral children, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.575 billion Jamelopians 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, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Jamelopelyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,715 trillion Hals 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. 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 amazing 260,892 Hals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 940,057 per year while the poor average 51,774, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Visual acuity is worsening amongst teenagers, anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Jamelopely's national animal is the Jamelope, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Jamelopelianismismusism.

Jamelopely is ranked 263,809th in the world and 8,971st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 13.7327689888 days.
