The Three Ring Circus of Jellys Caye is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Homey the Clown with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.372 billion Jellys Cayeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Top. The average income tax rate is 5.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Jellys Cayean economy, worth a remarkable 2,378 trillion Circus Peanuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 97,591 Circus Peanuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, environmental officials dismiss uncontrolled wildfires burning down major cities as nature taking its course, the government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", and life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Jellys Caye's national animal is the Jellys Clown Fish-Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Jelly Don't Stand On Homey No Mo.

Jellys Caye is ranked 12,042nd in the world and 197th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 2,075.2327343502 days.
