The Republic of The Channel Island of Jersey is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rebecca Ornella Massey de Lun with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7 billion Jerrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Helier. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Jerrian economy, worth 907 trillion JP Sterlings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,664 JP Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Channel Island of Jersey's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Channel Island of Jersey is ranked 208,202nd in the world and 8,826th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.08 kickbacks per hour.
