The Republic of Jay Z is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, triple-decker prams, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 14.483 billion Jay Zians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Jay Zian economy, worth a remarkable 1,666 trillion 80 million mores a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,091 80 million mores, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The military struggles with recruitment, mountains of VHS tapes of police actions are stacking up in the National Library, the government endows universities based on clearly demonstrated greed, and Leader has promised 'power to the puppies'. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Jay Z's national animal is the Beyoncer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jay Z is ranked 313,414^th in the world and 5^th in Brooklyn for Nicest Citizens, with 0.58 average smiles per day.
