The Republic of San Jimenez is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lucas Canone with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.096 billion Jimeneans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gran Teran. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jimenean economy, worth a remarkable 1,332 trillion Jimenean Pesos a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,763 Jimenean Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, hospitals in San Jimenez are too busy serving the needs of The Western Isles to see Jimeneans, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. San Jimenez's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

San Jimenez is ranked 15,611^th in the world and 32^nd in The Western Isles for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,378.69 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
