The Force of Juggernaut is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Goliath Bulk with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 2.442 billion Juggernauts are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colossal Reach. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Juggernaut economy, worth 291 trillion chits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,252 chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, most ambassadors from Juggernaut retire only a few years after being appointed, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and the government prefers to leave the past buried. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Juggernaut's national animal is the Behemoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Inertia.

Juggernaut is ranked 287,867th in the world and 9th in Wasteland for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -18.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
