The Federation of Japba is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Angela Wright with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.564 billion Japbans 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, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jaeino. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japban economy, worth 653 trillion Japban Nickels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,483 Japban Nickels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Japba's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Japba is ranked 244,375^th in the world and 5,452^nd in Lazarus for Fattest Citizens, with 7.45 Obesity Rate.
