The Republic of Jamesburgh is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King James with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 28.205 billion Jacobites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tucson. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jacobean economy, worth a remarkable 8,088 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 286,766 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and J-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime is totally unknown. Jamesburgh's national animal is the Javelina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Jamesburgh is ranked 171,485^th in the world and 111^th in Conifer for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -22.98 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
