The Idiotic Cesspool of Juristonia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Juri with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7.155 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juritopia. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Guns are banned, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime is totally unknown. Juristonia's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Cuban boy.

Juristonia is ranked 3rd in Nederland and 383rd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 187 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
