The Federation of Jyvasjarvi Lake is a massive, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.317 billion Jyvasjarvi Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jyvasjarvi Lakean economy, worth 76.6 trillion gambles 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 58,195 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jyvasjarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jyvasjarvi Lake is ranked 166,550th in the world and 290th in Lakes in Finland for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 31.34 Effective Tax Rate.
