The Republic of Geraldine Jones is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.846 billion Geraldine Jonesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The thriving Geraldine Jonesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,215 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,544 $$s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,056 per year while the poor average 22,586, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares, Geraldine Jonesian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, and the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geraldine Jones's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geraldine Jones is ranked 104,727th in the world and 2nd in Hispaniola for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 842.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
