The Colony of Jeblia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governer Alex Parker with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.84 billion Jeblians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jeblia City. The average income tax rate is 63.4%.

The powerhouse Jeblian economy, worth 240 trillion Rulas a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,601 Rulas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Jeblia flights to avoid the pay lavatories, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jeblia's national animal is the Blue Tailed Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Sunhaism.

Jeblia is ranked 90,416^th in the world and 3,817^th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,836.31 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
