The Republic of The Jackson 5 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.101 billion Jackson 5ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gary. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The all-consuming Jackson 5ian economy, worth 566 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,961 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Jackson 5's national animal is the Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Jackson 5 is ranked 198,802^nd in the world and 4^th in Indiana for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,951.01 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
