The Commonwealth of J y z e r i a is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Emmerich Meyer with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 10.493 billion Jyzerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jyland. The average income tax rate is 48.4%.

The all-consuming Jyzerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,049 trillion Jyzes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,037 Jyzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, commemoration of the Great Jyzeria War costs almost as much as the war itself, and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. J y z e r i a's national animal is the Vampire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is violet.

J y z e r i a is ranked 165,976^th in the world and 26^th in Jyzeria for Largest Black Market, with 867 billion Standard Monetary Units.
