The Empire of Jimbol is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 75 million Jimbolians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Jimbolian economy, worth 2.85 trillion cheeses 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 38,015 cheeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, and Jimbol recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Jimbol's national animal is the rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Jimbol is ranked 132,678th in the world and 181st in Morpheus for Safest, scoring 67.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
