The Libertarian Communism of New Jakar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.068 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 37%. A very small private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime is relatively low. New Jakar's national animal is the marble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nothing.

New Jakar is ranked 226th in The Internationale and 45,967th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
