The Borderlands of Janakistan is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.917 billion Janakistanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janakistan City. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Janakistanian economy, worth 173 trillion janaks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,171 janaks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Janakistan's national animal is the frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Janakistan is ranked 43,424^th in the world and 1^st in Minority Basement for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,893.17 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
