The Malignant Narcisism of General Jackson is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by General Agamemnon with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 25.756 billion General Jacksonians 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angry Jury City. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped General Jacksonian economy, worth 774 trillion Francoes 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. 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 30,085 Francoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police insist that racism does not exist, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love General Agamemnon, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. General Jackson's national animal is the Dutch Mafia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Crimson Order.

General Jackson is ranked 165,284th in the world and 10th in The Watchtower for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 652.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
