The Sultanate of Janub is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Hakim Sahir al-Awan with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.959 billion Janub are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jabal. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Janub economy, worth a remarkable 2,246 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,169 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, soldiers are authorised to use lethal force to maintain calm in the crash zone, an enormous health awareness programme is underway, and the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Janub's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

Janub is ranked 1,643^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Doldrums for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
