The Free Market Republic of Jontum is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ramsey with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.385 billion Jontumians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jontumheim. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Jontumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,083 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 129,216 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 435,130 per year while the poor average 28,429, a ratio of 15.3 to 1.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, the Great Jontumian Melting Pot boils out ethnic heritage, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jontum's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jontum is ranked 295,022^nd in the world and 5,648^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 16.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
