The Jainist Theocracy of JACJ is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Jamill with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory vegetarianism, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.191 billion Jacjians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacifism City. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Jacjian economy, worth a remarkable 1,251 trillion Jagians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 173,991 Jagians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Books are so highly regarded in JACJ that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, the official Jacjian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JACJ's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jainism.

JACJ is ranked 1,621st in the world and 3rd in Communitas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 13,293.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
