The Colony of Jamm is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 23.296 billion Jammians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Jammian economy, worth 81.8 trillion Dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. 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 3,509 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jamm's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Jamm is ranked 87,591^st in the world and 1^st in The Islands of Uspiasia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
