The Colony of Jack Sparrow is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 4.462 billion Pirateses 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.9%.
The large but inefficient Jack Sparrowian economy, worth 217 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,656 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
The army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud, cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jack Sparrow's national animal is the Ghoul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Jack Sparrow is ranked 86,075th in the world and 78th in Resuscitation for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,499.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
