The Dominion of Jalepano is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Ghost Pepper population. The hard-working population of 6.439 billion Jalepanoans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.7%.

The Jalepanoan economy, worth 296 trillion Bell Peppers a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 46,046 Bell Peppers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jalepano's national animal is the Ghost Pepper.

Jalepano is ranked 121,536^th in the world and 11^th in The Furry Federation for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
