The Principality of Just Pulling Your Leg is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.882 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Just Pulling Your Leg's national animal is the venus flytrap, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the joker.

Just Pulling Your Leg is ranked 656th in Osiris and 24,883rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
