The Empire of Juracassa is a small, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 20 million Juracasins are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Juracasian economy, worth 440 billion Bhips a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,035 Bhips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, interest in globalism never flags, national foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, and demolition derbies mostly consist of bicycles crashing into each other. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Juracassa's national animal is the Trapinch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Juracassa is ranked 325,876^th in the world and 1,638^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 1.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
