The United States of Jarkar is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr jakir with an even hand, and notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.067 billion Jarkarians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of trentonana. The average income tax rate is 25.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Jarkarian economy, worth 59.5 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,774 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, and pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jarkar's national animal is the the huge golden eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Jarkar is ranked 83,388^th in the world and 72^nd in Blue Ridge for Safest, scoring 88.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
