The Armed Republic of The United Julian States is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Julius V Porter with an even hand, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.684 billion Julians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avon. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Julian economy, worth 257 trillion Defense Department Dimidollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,873 Defense Department Dimidollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Atheists on vacation find Christianity's scriptures make useful doorstops, the Avon Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, money grows on trees, and returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Julian States's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

The United Julian States is ranked 78,714^th in the world and 10^th in America for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,113.47 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
