The Most Serene Republic of Jempuz is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.913 billion Jempuziit are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nitia. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Jempuziin economy, worth 257 trillion kets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 134,352 kets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jempuz's national animal is the Sunda Colugo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jempuz is ranked 285,643rd in the world and 311th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
