The Free Market Republic of Jontum is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ramsey with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.539 billion Jontumians 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 tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jontumheim. The average income tax rate is 7.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Jontumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,440 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
The Great Jontumian Melting Pot boils out ethnic heritage, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, families burn Ramsey's latest official photograph to keep warm, and immigrants are told to pull themselves up by their worn-out budget bootstraps. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jontum's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Jontum is ranked 69,033rd in the world and 1,419th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 110.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
