The Matriarchy of Jasten is a massive, genial nation, ruled by A woman who definitely is a human with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.348 billion Jastenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neins. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Jastenian economy, worth 175 trillion Münzens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,458 Münzens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions, the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jasten's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheismus.

Jasten is ranked 26,155^th in the world and 57^th in The Union of Democratic States for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,003.21 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
