The Grand Duchy of Julich is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working population of 18.183 billion Jülichers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jülich. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The very strong Jülicher economy, worth 945 trillion marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 51,972 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,764 per year while the poor average 13,186, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, Julich has designated Jülich as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Julich in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Julich's national religion. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Julich's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Julich is ranked 281,345^th in the world and 38^th in Cities for Largest Governments, scoring 8.49 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
