The Federation of Jerma-Topia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by goober goonington with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.207 billion Jermatopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jermoidia. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jerma-Topian economy, worth 293 trillion Jermatopian Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 132,785 Jermatopian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, public nudity is compulsory, and humble workers tempt fate for a taste of airline caviar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jerma-Topia's national animal is the jerma, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jerma-Topia is ranked 17,785^th in the world and 563^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,415.3 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
