The Nomadic Peoples of Jack Slash is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.311 billion Jack Slashians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The powerhouse Jack Slashian economy, worth 556 trillion Knives a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Gambling. Average income is 66,948 Knives, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 220,092 per year while the poor average 15,266, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jack Slash's national animal is the Crawler, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Jack Slash is ranked 267,683^rd in the world and 31^st in Brockton Bay for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
