Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Constitutional Monarchy of Jus Dananas is a huge, genial nation, ruled by HM King Katsuo II with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 775 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Portland. The average income tax rate is 63%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

HM King Katsuo II has just been declared ruler of Jus Dananas in an international press conference, protests are legal but strictly supervised, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jus Dananas's national animal is the Jusdananasian sea hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the poutine.

Jus Dananas is ranked 73rd in Canada and 46,989th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
