The Theocracy of The jacks organ is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.69 billion jacks organians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.
The all-consuming jacks organian economy, worth 385 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 57,552 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 202,510 per year while the poor average 11,846, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.
Tensions between the young and old have risen to record levels, getting a blood transfusion from a jacks organian entitles a foreigner to citizenship, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter jacks organian pirates, and solid steel breastplates are in fashion amongst city drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The jacks organ's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
The jacks organ is ranked 216,734th in the world and 1,121st in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
