The Subsidized Union of Jermi is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by J with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 10.564 billion Jermen enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jeinburg. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Jermian economy, worth a remarkable 4,132 trillion Mincoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 391,151 Mincoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime is totally unknown. Jermi's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lunaism.

Jermi is ranked 10,235^th in the world and 1^st in Palatine for Nicest Citizens, with 30.98 average smiles per day.
