The Armed Republic of Jughru is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karnar The Eternal with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, disturbing lack of elderly people, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.959 billion Jughruans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnaria. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Jughruan economy, worth a remarkable 1,218 trillion Kirrans 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 122,322 Kirrans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis, a soldier's body is a temple, public parks are littered with cigarette butts, and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jughru's national animal is the Jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Jughru is ranked 88,750th in the world and 1,296th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 513.2946714912 days.
