The Allied States of Jurep is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 112 million Jurepians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Jurepian economy, worth 3.33 trillion e-credits a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,692 e-credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, the government snoops on private internet connections, foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Jurepian ambassadors, and Big Belly is watching you. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jurep's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jurep is ranked 133,287^th in the world and 2^nd in Juram for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 794.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
