The Commonwealth of Jade Mountain Academy is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Queen Glory with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.708 billion Dragons love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyrrhia. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Jade Mountain Academyian economy, worth 262 trillion Gold Pieces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,986 Gold Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk, fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jade Mountain Academy's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Three Moons.

Jade Mountain Academy is ranked 36,842^nd in the world and 104^th in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,382.51 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
