Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Free Republic of Jellydom is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14.208 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, all weapon research has been banned, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads. Crime is totally unknown. Jellydom's national animal is the mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the fruit.

Jellydom is ranked 45th in The United Earth Federation and 101,631st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
