The United Socialist States of Jerusali is a large, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 86 million Jerusalians 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 Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Jerusalian economy, worth 4.72 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,850 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, untold millions of Rubles are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, and a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jerusali's national animal is the Premier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jerusali is ranked 144,574^th in the world and 2^nd in Jimothy for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 67.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
