The United States of The Jamesian Republic is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Scott Lewis with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.183 billion Jamesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol City. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jamesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 205,125 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape The Jamesian Republic, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Jamesian Republic's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity-Majority.

The Jamesian Republic is ranked 23,727th in the world and 4th in Jamesia for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,102.63 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
