The Website Nation of Jacobs is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jacob with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.944 billion Jacobsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jacobston. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Jacobsian economy, worth 780 trillion doubloons 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 impressive 197,812 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, most ambassadors from Jacobs retire only a few years after being appointed, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Jacobs's national animal is the fossa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Jacobs is ranked 295,430th in the world and 5th in Jacobs for Lowest Crime Rates, with 6.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
