The Anschluss of Jerzylvania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by -insert desired name here- with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.555 billion Jerzylvanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the only town without representation. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Jerzylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,878 trillion deciduous tree leaves 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 113,481 deciduous tree leaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There is a 'turn around' sign at every border entrance, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, Jerzylvanian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and write-in candidate '-insert desired name here- Sucks' is perennially popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jerzylvania's national animal is the clock face and its national religion is varies per individuals.

Jerzylvania is ranked 24,519th in the world and 1st in Democracy for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
