The Serene Territories of Jack Empire is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sydney Johnson with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.684 billion Jackians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jackson. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The all-consuming Jackian economy, worth 360 trillion Jackian Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 97,966 Jackian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, government spokespeople are working overtime trying to convince concerned citizens that Sydney Johnson is not a crook, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, and adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jack Empire's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jamism.

Jack Empire is ranked 245,707th in the world and 407th in The League for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
