The Gothic Flavor of Burndt Jamb is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Rivers Cuomo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 948 million Jambers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Angeles. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Jambian economy, worth 15.8 trillion Potato Chips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,648 Potato Chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foundling babies rarely make it off the doorsteps they are abandoned on, fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, hotels often double as quarantine zones, and children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burndt Jamb's national animal is the Salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Burndt Jamb is ranked 305,840^th in the world and 5,020^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 16,648.33 Standard Monetary Units.
