The Democratic Republic of Juli is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Juli Agars with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.041 billion Julians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 9.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Julian economy, worth 104 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,436 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit, a major religion has been named as Juli's national religion, and saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Juli's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Juli is ranked 184,382^nd in the world and 372^nd in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 53.28 on the Human Development Index.
