The Empire of Jenkin is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 841 million Jenkinians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jenkinian economy, worth 79.7 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,767 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jenkin's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jenkin is ranked 61,643^rd in the world and 6^th in The Qualactic Ozone of Quanigtarrious Jr for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
