The Garden Rose of Jakuzure is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 8.078 billion Jakuzureans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.1%.

The powerhouse Jakuzurean economy, worth 683 trillion Battons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,611 Battons, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, compassion shrinks as tax rebates grow, and kids are gathering at the local soda shop to celebrate staying out past sundown. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jakuzure's national animal is the Magnesium, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jakuzure is ranked 74,693rd in the world and 8th in Abraxas for Most Developed, scoring 69.18 on the Human Development Index.
