The Constitutional Monarchy of J Class is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 745 million Crew are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Helm. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Crew economy, worth 79.4 trillion Lines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 106,548 Lines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. J Class's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

J Class is ranked 262,104^th in the world and 263^rd in Lands End for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
