The Queen's State of David Jesse is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 36.971 billion David Jesseans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The all-consuming David Jessean economy, worth a remarkable 2,140 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 57,902 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,650 per year while the poor average 12,387, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Foreigners are treated with great suspicion, David Jesse has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of David Jesse in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as David Jesse's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. David Jesse's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

David Jesse is ranked 89,928th in the world and 8th in State for Most Developed, scoring 64.1 on the Human Development Index.
