Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Banner Ad of Jerry Christ is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 15.045 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The small, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Social Welfare and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling industries.

Loans are available for students from poor families, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Jerry Christ in an international press conference. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Jerry Christ's national animal is the Beer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Beer.

Jerry Christ is ranked 2nd in Hyrule and 1,339th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
