The Republic of James Milner is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, otherworldly petting zoo, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.027 billion James Milnerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 57.9%.

The powerhouse James Milnerian economy, worth 104 trillion Balls 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. 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 an impressive 101,551 Balls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, enemy combatants are presumed guilty until proven innocent, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Ballball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. James Milner's national animal is the Ball, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

James Milner is ranked 19,509^th in the world and 4^th in Football for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,549.66 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
