The Holy Grey Matriarchy of Jean Rowe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Shin Hyuga Shaing with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.891 billion Britannians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sankt Petersburg. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Britannian economy, worth a remarkable 1,088 trillion Crowns a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,971 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jean Rowe's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Britannian Faith.

Jean Rowe is ranked 17,650^th in the world and 3^rd in Warzone Asia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 124.64 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
