The Democratic Republic of Jakub is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Wictor Ruskowski with an even hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.314 billion Jakubians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jakub City. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Jakubian economy, worth 200 trillion Jakubian Złoties a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,466 Jakubian Złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An exhibition on crab memes is currently starring at the National Art Gallery, crabs are considered a delicacy, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, and dessert dishes make up the Jakubian breakfast menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jakub's national animal is the crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.

Jakub is ranked 145,307^th in the world and 2,619^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 525.58 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
