The Boy Band Stud of Jesse is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.439 billion Jesseans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.

The thriving Jessean economy, worth 704 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,485 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jesse's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jesse is ranked 82,720^th in the world and 1^st in Synagogue for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 6.81 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
