The Republic of Vertu Jacobine is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 257 million Vertu Jacobineans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vertu Jacobinean economy, worth 16.2 trillion spierres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,904 spierres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, finders keepers is the law of the land, and Vertu Jacobine has designated Vertu Jacobine City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vertu Jacobine's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Vertu Jacobine is ranked 82,887^th in the world and 3^rd in Bormla for Most Developed, scoring 66.23 on the Human Development Index.
