The Queen's State of David Jesse is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 31.974 billion David Jesseans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The all-consuming David Jessean economy, worth a remarkable 1,851 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 57,902 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,650 per year while the poor average 12,387, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Foreigners are treated with great suspicion, David Jesse has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of David Jesse in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as David Jesse's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. David Jesse's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

David Jesse is ranked 285,043rd in the world and 6th in Sakartvelo for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 130.55 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
