The Republic of The Jagged Teeth is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 423 million Jagged Teethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Jagged Teethian economy, worth 5.25 trillion beans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 12,420 beans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the The Jagged Teeth City River, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Jagged Teeth's national animal is the gay frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Jagged Teeth is ranked 143,317^th in the world and 5^th in Gaybeans Alt Dumping Ground for Most Patriotic, with 13.57 flags saluted per person per day.
