The Purple Haze of Jules Bonnot is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 7.272 billion Jules Bonnotians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Jules Bonnotian economy, worth 114 trillion Pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,696 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jules Bonnot's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Jules Bonnot is ranked 323,707^th in the world and 1^st in The White House for Most Developed, scoring 44.16 on the Human Development Index.
