The Garden of Earthly Delights of Jabberwocky is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sherlock Quixote with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.832 billion Jabberwockyians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frivolia. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jabberwockyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,532 trillion Brilligs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 183,113 Brilligs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever, gangs of political bullies tell minority voices to "shut up because we say so", actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jabberwocky's national animal is the Slithy Tove, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mimsy.

Jabberwocky is ranked 3,655th in the world and 62nd in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 197 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
