The Imperial Empire of Great Jameston is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King James III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.545 billion Jamestons enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Vincent. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jamestonion economy, worth 678 trillion Kraticas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 149,386 Kraticas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government violently suppresses separatist movements, nations that kill a Jameston can expect a strongly worded letter, many friends and relatives of King James III have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Jameston's national animal is the Emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Great Jameston is ranked 59,632nd in the world and 381st in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 768.11848757052 days.
