The Emirate of Jesmar is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.188 billion Jesmaris are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Jesmari economy, worth 129 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 24,897 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the wolf is a protected species, and the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jesmar's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jesmar is ranked 134,143^rd in the world and 1^st in West Corvinia for Largest Populations, with 5.19 billion capita.
