The Empire of Jack6 is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 45 million Jack6ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Jack6ian economy, worth 743 billion rubles 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, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 16,508 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, Jack6ians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a shark. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jack6's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Jack6 is ranked 310,044^th in the world and 139^th in Albastru for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
