The Hawk of Jade3 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning cow population. The hard-working population of 2.92 billion Jade3ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The Jade3ian economy, worth 118 trillion marks a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,533 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jade3's national animal is the cow.

Jade3 is ranked 118,351^st in the world and 46^th in Darkest Skies for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,215.64 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
