The Republic of Jackqueline is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 286 million Jackquelineans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jackquelinean economy, worth 30.7 trillion candy cane gold bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,182 candy cane gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, derelict airplanes have been converted into novelty restaurants and hotels, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, and heavy industry grinds to a halt as new equipment must be biked in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jackqueline's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Jackqueline is ranked 78,364th in the world and 1st in Freyaria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,269.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
