The Union of Western Provinces of Juiulia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ærith ab Gorthii IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.932 billion Juiuliae 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Gorthii. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Juiulides economy, worth a remarkable 2,165 trillion æfgens 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 218,031 æfgens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, chickens roam the streets freely, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown. Juiulia's national animal is the Topaz Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Juiulia is ranked 272,861^st in the world and 768^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.85 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
