The Holy Empire of Jacks Fingernails is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 18 million Lizardians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lizzing economy, worth 775 billion fingernails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,101 fingernails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Local government operates tolls on every village road, criminals identify as innocent, document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, and citizens must have a license to operate a computer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jacks Fingernails's national animal is the Big Lizard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jacks Fingernails is ranked 129,524^th in the world and 613^th in Europeia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,273.95 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
