The Republic of Jogging mailmen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 28.816 billion Jogging mailmenians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 54.8%.

The Jogging mailmenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 trillion jacks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 44,683 jacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jogging mailmen's national animal is the zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jogging mailmen is ranked 210,111^th in the world and 44^th in Florida for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 33.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
