The State of Janice Mac is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.991 billion Janice Macians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The very strong Janice Macian economy, worth a remarkable 1,233 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 38,570 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military funding has been stripped back, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Janice Mac's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Janice Mac is ranked 284,453^rd in the world and 1^st in Meresedian Union for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
