The Republic of Jaecee is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory vegetarianism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.716 billion Jaeceeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Jaeceean economy, worth 81.3 trillion francs 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. 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 29,949 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Catching an old friend by surprise on the street can be a shocking experience, anti-government web sites are springing up, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, and vegetarianism is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jaecee's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jaecee is ranked 27,740^th in the world and 16^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Politically Free, scoring 89.25 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
