The Kingdom of Jaktokington is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 1.613 billion Jaktokingtonians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jaktokingtonian economy, worth 88.0 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,561 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaktokington's national animal is the None, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jaktokington is ranked 119,192nd in the world and 271st in the Outback for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
