The Wreck of Starship Jefferson is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Larry Gary with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, devout population of 6.484 billion Starship Jeffersonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slicktown. The average income tax rate is 40.9%.

The very strong Starship Jeffersonian economy, worth 431 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,472 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, and right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starship Jefferson's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Burkkko.

Starship Jefferson is ranked 52,777^th in the world and 90^th in The Regected Realns for Most Primitive, scoring 52.54 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
