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 renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, disturbing lack of elderly people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.739 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 Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Jamelopelyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,745 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 259,059 Hals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 809,864 per year while the poor average 63,583, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

The endangered saltwater humpback Jamelope is only seen in captivity programs, when it comes to real men it takes one to know one, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, and shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals. 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 2,220th in the world and 140th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 14,661.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
