The Holy Imperial Republic of Jasonovia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Jason with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.219 billion Jasonovians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jasonovia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Jasonovian economy, worth a remarkable 5,572 trillion Rapgüks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 323,602 Rapgüks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, agricultural science is the most competitive subject at universities, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, and religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jasonovia's national animal is the Bicephalous Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Jasonovia is ranked 224^th in the world and 1^st in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Patriotic, with 159.56 flags saluted per person per day.
