The United People's Republic of JiaYang is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Johan Pax Mahaghand with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.948 billion Jiayangians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beiyang. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jiayangian economy, worth 422 trillion Yewons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 107,060 Yewons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Jiayangian mussels the biggest in Osiris, Johan Pax Mahaghand is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, Johan Pax Mahaghand's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Jiayangian ambassadors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JiaYang's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

JiaYang is ranked 116,304^th in the world and 5,648^th in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
