The GUNDAM-adjacent Rick Dias of Jetan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jeddak Odysseus Carter with an iron fist, and renowned for its conspicuous electricity pylons, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 32.511 billion Jetanese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thark. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Jetanese economy, worth a remarkable 8,927 trillion Jetanese Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 274,605 Jetanese Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, stocks go up when the internet says so, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, and resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jetan's national animal is the Thoat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jetan is ranked 10,211th in the world and 1st in Alyr for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 41,646.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
