The People's Republic of Junara is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr Premier with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.231 billion Junarans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altina. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Junaran economy, worth 303 trillion Runas 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, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 136,216 Runas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', and atheist missionaries spread doubt overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Junara's national animal is the Dajabird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Junara is ranked 25,924^th in the world and 22^nd in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,191.96 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
