The People's Republic of James patterson is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 4.709 billion James pattersonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient James pattersonian economy, worth 176 trillion Delta Eagles 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, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. 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 37,500 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. James patterson's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

James patterson is ranked 176,753^rd in the world and 1^st in third international for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 122.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
