The Republic of Jonah98 is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 822 million Jonah98ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The strong Jonah98ian economy, worth 45.2 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,990 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jonah98's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jonah98 is ranked 213,849^th in the world and 4,214^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 822 million capita.
