The Imperial Empire of Great Jameston is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King James III with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.651 billion Jamestons are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Vincent. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jamestonion economy, worth 692 trillion Kraticas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 148,885 Kraticas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, 'Abstinence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder' is a common school motto, and the impoverished sick hang around outside golf clubs to beg for funding for healthcare. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Jameston's national animal is the Emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Great Jameston is ranked 43,089^th in the world and 506^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
