The People's Republic of The Jarrellverse is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 56 million Jarrells are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Jarrellish economy, worth 1.42 trillion Bellringers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,276 Bellringers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, the latest political memes depict Leader as an overly-choreographed robot, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Jarrellverse's national animal is the Gumby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Jarrellverse is ranked 92,292^nd in the world and 67^th in Byzantion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 276.7 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
