The Republic of Junara is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.551 billion Junarans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rajna. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Junaran economy, worth a remarkable 1,374 trillion Zanas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 182,066 Zanas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, even secular Junarans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Junara's national animal is the Dajabird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Junara is ranked 6,710^th in the world and 35^th in the Plains of Perdition for Smartest Citizens, with 113.56 quips per hour.
