The State of Jaw-Bone is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 33.601 billion Jaw-Boneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Jaw-Bonean economy, worth 950 trillion betales 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, highly specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 28,276 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, a major religion has been named as Jaw-Bone's national religion, and Jaw-Bone has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaw-Bone's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jaw-Bone is ranked 264,631st in the world and 9th in Malaysia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,338.92 Standard Monetary Units.
