The Confederacy of Thomas Jackson is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 223 million Thomas Jacksonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The Thomas Jacksonian economy, worth 12.5 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 56,247 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Thomas Jackson's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thomas Jackson is ranked 96,143^rd in the world and 5^th in Cataclyst Order for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 100 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
