The United States of Juddlight is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Samson with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.367 billion Juddlightians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samway City. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Juddlightian economy, worth a remarkable 1,267 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,514 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Juddlight's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Venturism.

Juddlight is ranked 21,171^st in the world and 71^st in Starlight for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,627 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
