The Grand Duchy of Japuile is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by GD Casamir I of the House of Episcopo with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The cynical population of 3.725 billion Japuileans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artane. The average income tax rate is 88.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Japuilean economy, worth 734 trillion Pythian Dimes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 197,120 Pythian Dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Japuile, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and rumor has it that GD Casamir I of the House of Episcopo has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Japuile's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of the Sun and Moon.

Japuile is ranked 12,196^th in the world and 3^rd in Sparkalia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 138.04 kickbacks per hour.
