How popular is the book Jennifer Government in your nation?
It is held within the 'Notable Political Dystopias' section along with 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, The Iron Heel and others like these. It is the most commonly used reference for ultra-libertarian capitalist societies.

Is it commonly bought and read?
Yes. Close to the level of 1984 and Brave New World.

Do your citizens admire the book, or despite it?
Interspherians generally admire the book, largely for the fact that it focuses on the potential removal of government. From what we've seen, ultra-libertarian capitalist societies such as pictured in Jennifer Government are far more dangerous than authoritarian dictatorships for two primary reasons; a) there is no single ruler to intimidate or bribe and b) technological progression is usually not nearly as stagnated as in authoritarian dictatorships.

Optionally, if your nation is featured in the book, what would it affiliate with (e.g. the US, fragmented markets)?
