The Empire of Junigo is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 732 million Junigoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Couthon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Junigoan economy, worth 95.1 trillion Tsikoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 129,878 Tsikoes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 803,039 per year while the poor average 9,089, a ratio of 88.3 to 1.

Government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, most foreigners can't name the leader of Junigo, and the caged-bird trade is singing. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Junigo's national animal is the Reconstrictor boa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Junigo is ranked 15,594^th in the world and 266^th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 96 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
