Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Jupiter is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-working population of 1.226 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A small private sector is dominated by the Soda Sales industry.

Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jupiter's national animal is the Gustav, and its currency is the Holst.

Jupiter is ranked 34th in Eastern Europe and 59,604th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
