The Colony of Jane Prentiss is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.519 billion Jane Prentissians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Jane Prentissian economy, worth 328 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 130,328 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Jane Prentiss City generates millions of views, and yoga studios are being converted into yoga research labs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jane Prentiss's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Jane Prentiss is ranked 58,528th in the world and 93rd in the Outback for Smartest Citizens, with 40.36 quips per hour.
