The Colony of Tropicaljay is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Jay Myers with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.176 billion Atlanteans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shadowville. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Atlantean economy, worth a remarkable 3,983 trillion Silver Certificates a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 302,352 Silver Certificates, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tropicaljay's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Tropicaljay is ranked 35,896^th in the world and 8^th in Shadowville for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,297.57 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
