The Republic of Jayfeather is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The cynical population of 9.702 billion Jayfeatherians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 21.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Jayfeatherian economy, worth 344 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,506 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Jayfeather's national animal is the lion.

Jayfeather is ranked 215,237^th in the world and 5,251^st in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,262.78 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
