The Republic of Judean Union is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic population of 157 million Judean Unionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The strong Judean Unionian economy, worth 10.9 trillion Shekels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,191 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, the true length of the coastline of Judean Union may never be measured, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Judean Union's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Judean Union is ranked 26,194^th in the world and 18^th in Audinesca for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
