The People's Republic of Jatkosot a is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Utsuho Reiuji with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.289 billion Jatkosotans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell of Blazing Fires. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Jatkosotan economy, worth 327 trillion Mons 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 142,958 Mons, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The rich are often stinkingly so, teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, the Jatkosotan delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jatkosot a's national animal is the Hell Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Shinto.

Jatkosot a is ranked 142,810^th in the world and 1^st in Capell for Largest Black Market, with 1.28 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
