The Free Market Republic of Jontum is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ramsey with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.476 billion Jontumians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jontumheim. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Jontumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,097 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 129,444 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 435,897 per year while the poor average 28,479, a ratio of 15.3 to 1.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, the Great Jontumian Melting Pot boils out ethnic heritage, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jontum's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jontum is ranked 37,193^rd in the world and 655^th in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 58.37 kickbacks per hour.
