The Jk of JK is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.095 billion Jokes are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient JKian economy, worth a remarkable 1,939 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,472 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, bike rage is all the rage, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JK's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
JK is ranked 24,906th in the world and 1,700th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
