The Union of Free Provinces of Juiulia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Secretary-General Höhnecker with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.247 billion Juiulians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorythburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Juiulian economy, worth a remarkable 3,640 trillion Afgens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 238,754 Afgens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. Crime is totally unknown. Juiulia's national animal is the Topaz Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the First Juiulian Regency.

Juiulia is ranked 315,635^th in the world and 396^th in 10000 Islands for Most Devout, with 1.97 prayers per hour.
