The Federal Republic of JK239 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Marcey with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.603 billion JKians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perfection. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 94.0%.

The frighteningly efficient JK239ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,724 trillion CBS a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 226,837 CBS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 795,914 per year while the poor average 46,897, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Small shoes often wash up on the beach, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. JK239's national animal is the Jaime, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tokenism.

JK239 is ranked 56,595^th in the world and 697^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
