The United States of Janakin is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Elian Torvek with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.45 billion Janakinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinoes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Janakinian economy, worth 151 trillion Apolkas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,812 Apolkas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,382 per year while the poor average 29,375, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Janakin's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thaninian.

Janakin is ranked 83,038^th in the world and 10^th in Aurora League for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 6,270.5 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
