The Principality of Jack2850 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Jill with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.779 billion Jackians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upthehill. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The strong Jack2850ian economy, worth 835 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,793 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,675 per year while the poor average 7,129, a ratio of 30.7 to 1.

The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves, and anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Jack2850's national animal is the mink, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Baptist.

Jack2850 is ranked 303,752^nd in the world and 47^th in Gypsy Lands for Nicest Citizens, with 0.92 average smiles per day.
