The Republic of Jimenez is a small, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 29 million Jimenezi have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.7%.

The strong Jimenezian economy, worth 1.83 trillion Jimenezi dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,205 Jimenezi dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jimenez's national animal is the pink axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Jimenez is ranked 162,014^th in the world and 2,394^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,239.09 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
