The District of Jackstone is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by privy council chairman with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 47.918 billion Jackstoneans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.7%.

The thriving Jackstonean economy, worth a remarkable 2,798 trillion Juno aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 58,408 Juno aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,450 per year while the poor average 14,238, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, there's a bright dawn ahead for Jackstone, small towns have started burning historical buildings in hopes of attracting tourists, and members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jackstone's national animal is the quick pink fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jackstone is ranked 259,551st in the world and 1st in Utah for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
