The Gambling Addiction of Jielas is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 744 million degenerate gamblers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Administration and Healthcare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of someplace chosen with dice every time. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The frighteningly efficient gambling economy, worth 83.4 trillion spins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 112,147 spins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 575,652 per year while the poor average 11,964, a ratio of 48.1 to 1.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, civil servants refuse to enforce government regulations for fear of wider economic impact, land owners find the earth being pulled out from under them, and juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Jielas's national animal is the Slot Machine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jielas is ranked 221,524th in the world and 141st in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 773.36 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
