The Death Wish of Jim C is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Socrates with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 31.573 billion Jim Cians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Jim Cian economy, worth a remarkable 8,558 trillion Hemlocks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 271,072 Hemlocks, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and foreign workers are flooding in as Hemlocks flood out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jim C's national animal is the Socrates, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Jim C is ranked 48,216^th in the world and 493^rd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
