The Church of The Luck of Jirachi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High Priest Bennett Duval with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.141 billion Jirachites 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 Spirituality, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wish City. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jirachian economy, worth 290 trillion Luck Coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,207 Luck Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, and the dartboard at the Jirachian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of High Priest Bennett Duval's face. Crime is moderate. The Luck of Jirachi's national animal is the Jirachi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Jirachism.

The Luck of Jirachi is ranked 209,380^th in the world and 91^st in Blackstar for Most Armed, with 0.19 Weapons Per Person.
