The Benevolent Church of Jim the Baptist is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jim McCann Almighty with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.15 billion Jim the Baptistians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jim Town. The average income tax rate is 7.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jim the Baptistian economy, worth a remarkable 3,596 trillion Prayers 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 a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 354,354 Prayers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, the world still seems flat to some people in space, and the government is spending millions on 'trust campaigns' in an effort to win back the public's support. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Jim the Baptist's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jim the Baptist.

Jim the Baptist is ranked 2,776^th in the world and 48^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 132.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
