The Free Land of Jerom is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.658 billion Jeromians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Jeromian economy, worth 777 trillion Krachts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 61,438 Krachts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, scrapyards are filled with Leader's face, the nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand, and children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jerom's national animal is the Arthur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jerom is ranked 240,953^rd in the world and 16^th in Het eiland Amoras for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
