The United Socialist States of Guaral-Jukuhuanca is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 500 million Guaral-Jukuhuancans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abalônia. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Guaral-Jukuhuancan economy, worth 13.1 trillion Huncloes 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 26,120 Huncloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, and straitjackets are a common religious garb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guaral-Jukuhuanca's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guaral-Jukuhuanca is ranked 123,033^rd in the world and 183^rd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 76.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
