The Armed Republic of Jealhaffen is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 7 million 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.
Elections have been outlawed, military spending recently hit a new high, Jealhaffen's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Jealhaffen's national animal is the fluskot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the telli.
Jealhaffen is ranked 2nd in the region and 22,985th in the world for Most Comprehensive Public Healthcare.
