The Forest Dwellings of Basalt Junimos is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.051 billion Basalt Junimosians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.7%.

The all-consuming Basalt Junimosian economy, worth 757 trillion francs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,065 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", school uniforms are compulsory, and 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basalt Junimos's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Basalt Junimos is ranked 66,980^th in the world and 5^th in Danu for Highest Drug Use, scoring 241.23 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
