The Democracy of Juniople is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 508 million Juniopolitans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iounioupolis. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Juniopolitan economy, worth 70.9 trillion prinkipikons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 139,565 prinkipikons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull, Juniopolitans caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Juniople's national animal is the peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Juniople is ranked 252,637^th in the world and 10^th in Fallen Nations for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.8 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
