The JON Hegemony of Ere Ter Baked is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jonathan with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.335 billion Kids enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The strong Kid economy, worth 80.1 trillion balloons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 60,028 balloons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 350,426 per year while the poor average 4,838, a ratio of 72.4 to 1.

Jonathan is quite hard to get a hold of, if you die during a restaurant meal the government will pick up the bill, the number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ere Ter Baked's national animal is the farm animals, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Catholicism.

Ere Ter Baked is ranked 174,006th in the world and 143rd in The Bongos United for Smartest Citizens, with 27.77 quips per hour.
