The Federal Republic of JK239 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Marcey with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.505 billion JKians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perfection. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient JK239ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,835 trillion CBS a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 244,595 CBS, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, military spending recently hit a new high, astronomers are flocking to JK239 to take advantage of its clear night skies, and armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JK239's national animal is the Jaime, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tokenism.

JK239 is ranked 124,928th in the world and 879th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 277.96932209952 days.
