The State of JI is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.444 billion JIians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong JIian economy, worth 583 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 33,440 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,356 per year while the poor average 1,796, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of JI in an international press conference, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. JI's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

JI is ranked 268,158^th in the world and 354^th in Omega Prime for Safest, scoring 11.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
