The Union of Ajuba is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Joseph with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 25.847 billion Ajubans 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 prioritizes Education, although Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abadan. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ajuban economy, worth a remarkable 1,879 trillion imperial sovs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,733 imperial sovs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ajuba's national animal is the forest bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ajuba is ranked 20,970^th in the world and 9^th in Western Atlantic for Nicest Citizens, with 22.3 average smiles per day.
