The Benevolent Church of Jim the Baptist is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jim McCann Almighty with a fair hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.171 billion Jim the Baptistians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jim Town. The average income tax rate is 39.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jim the Baptistian economy, worth a remarkable 4,345 trillion Prayers 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 388,974 Prayers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular politicians are often caught between a rock and a hard place, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Jim the Baptist's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jim the Baptist.

Jim the Baptist is ranked 7,699th in the world and 67th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 9,617.82 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
