The Jingoistic States of Stingoistic Jates is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Caecus Val IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.15 billion Jates hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Roof. The average income tax rate is 31.7%.

The all-consuming Stingoistic economy, worth 120 trillion treasures a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,198 treasures, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Stingoistic Jates's national animal is the seal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is connectifia abortus.

Stingoistic Jates is ranked 253,317^th in the world and 5,246^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
