The United States of Juddlight is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Samson with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.362 billion Juddlightians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samway City. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Juddlightian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,010 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, the true length of the coastline of Juddlight may never be measured, and schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Juddlight's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Venturism.

Juddlight is ranked 121,754^th in the world and 225^th in Starlight for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,455.96 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
