“Run screaming - It's your only hope.”

The Most Serene Republic of Judicial Ineptitude is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Grand Magistrate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.287 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Legal Limbo. The average income tax rate is 74%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Judicial Ineptitude's national animal is the Drop Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Doohicky.

Judicial Ineptitude is ranked 89th in the region and 44,969th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
