The People's Republic of Jengus is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 131 million Jengusians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The strong Jengusian economy, worth 6.47 trillion Blenoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,387 Blenoes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 304,575 per year while the poor average 3,479, a ratio of 87.5 to 1.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jengus's national animal is the Cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Jengus is ranked 271,037^th in the world and 231^st in Corsair for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
