The Democratic Republic of Juli is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Juli Agars with a fair hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.717 billion Julians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 9.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Julian economy, worth 88.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,473 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Suspicious glow-in-the-dark wasps remain a source of terror and awe, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit, and a major religion has been named as Juli's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Juli's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Juli is ranked 65,652^nd in the world and 140^th in Starlight for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,868.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
