The Republic of Jelekova is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Vera Kovacs with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 29.725 billion Jelekovans 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamarina. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Jelekovan economy, worth a remarkable 6,510 trillion Kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,019 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, the nation refuses to provide international aid, and caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jelekova's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Mos Maiorum.

Jelekova is ranked 2,565th in the world and 23rd in Europeia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 26,851.71 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
