The Sporting Alliance of Saint-Jean-Jacques et Burnham-on-Stove is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Head of the Binational Sporting Committe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.001 billion Jean-Jacquois and Burnhamese are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Jean-Jacques and Burnham-on-Stove. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jean-Jacquois and Burnhamese economy, worth 274 trillion franc jean-jacquois and burnhamese pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,031 franc jean-jacquois and burnhamese pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, diplomats are always trying to convince other nations to adopt l33t speak, concussed tapirball players cannot remember their lineup position, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint-Jean-Jacques et Burnham-on-Stove's national animal is the tapir and its national religion is hockey and football.

Saint-Jean-Jacques et Burnham-on-Stove is ranked 182,128^th in the world and 52^nd in Anaia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
