The United States of Jurubeba is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 868 million Jurubebans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cidade de Bambi. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Jurubeban economy, worth 94.1 trillion neots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 108,449 neots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious education is a new government priority, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jurubeba's national animal is the bambi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jurubeba is ranked 22,746^th in the world and 719^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 57.3 quips per hour.
