The Benevolent Church of Jim the Baptist is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Jim McCann Almighty with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 15.339 billion Jim the Baptistians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jim Town. The average income tax rate is 4.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jim the Baptistian economy, worth a remarkable 5,629 trillion Prayers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 367,037 Prayers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Jim McCann Almighty's political rallies, and all astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff'. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Jim the Baptist's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jim the Baptist.

Jim the Baptist is ranked 489th in the world and 12th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 507 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
