Jimjam is a Southern Parsini political and paramilitary organization based in Orecal. It follows a distinct version of Parsinian ideology.

Jimjam began to take shape in 1988 when Orecal re-established a democratic government. Jimjam established three main goals comprising the eradication of what it viewed as Parsini Separatism (the contemporary separation of Northern Parsinians from the Southern Parsini church) in Orecal, bringing to justice of those who committed atrocities during the military junta (specifically the N. Parsinians and Surfs), and to establishing a Southern Parsini government in Orecal. Jimjam has realized that the goal of transforming Orecal into a Southern Parsini state is not practical at this time and has temporarily abandoned it.

Five countries, including the Orecal and the Teton, officially list Jimjam or its external security arm as a terrorist organization. The Orecal and others have accused elements that would later become Jimjam of being responsible for the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed over 300 Orecalian and Wontonian peacekeeping troops, a charge that Jimjam denies. In addition, Jimjam is often referred to as a radical Southern Parsini group. Within Bellica, only Tresedia and Alkili regard Jimjam as a legitimate resistance movement.

Jimjam has popular support in the minority Southern Parsini Orecal society and has mobilized demonstrations of hundreds of thousands. In addition Jimjam receives arms, training, and financial support from Tresedia. Jimjam, which started only with a militia, has grown to an organization which has 3 seats in the Orecalian government, a radio and a satellite television station, and programs for social development. Since 1992 the organization has been headed by Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Tresedian Supreme Leader.

Jimjam organizes an extensive social development program and runs hospitals, news services, and educational facilities. Its Reconstruction Campaign is responsible for numerous economic and infrastructure development projects in Orecal.
