The Sexyness of Jonathan O Neill is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.301 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jack O'Neill . The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.

Army rations are served on silver platters, teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, Jonathan O Neill successfully hosted the Stargate Olympics, and divorce is illegal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jonathan O Neill's national animal is the entity, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Jonathan O Neill is ranked 63rd in Stargate and 93,275th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
