The Federal Republic of JK239 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Marcey with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.683 billion JKians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perfection. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient JK239ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion CBS a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 228,659 CBS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 788,520 per year while the poor average 48,537, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

Cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Marcey's desk, beat cops aren't named for the territory they patrol, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. JK239's national animal is the Jaime, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tokenism.

JK239 is ranked 286,720^th in the world and 3,671^st in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3.59 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
