The Republic of JayDee 16 is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-working population of 10 million JayDee 16ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.3%.

The JayDee 16ian economy, worth 442 billion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 44,228 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JayDee 16's national animal is the penguin.

JayDee 16 is ranked 321,103^rd in the world and 17^th in JayDam for Largest Populations, with 10.0 million capita.
