The United States of Free Jamestopia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 14.74 billion Free Jamestopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jamestopia City. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Free Jamestopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,702 trillion Jamestopian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,362 Jamestopian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, there's a hole in the heart of every Free Jamestopian city, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Jamestopia's national animal is the Jamestopian Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Free Jamestopia is ranked 221,455th in the world and 6,636th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 29.21076602732 days.
