Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Territory-States of Justorica is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Justori Bronzeg with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5.619 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Justoria. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, students cut up leftover Justorican Dollars during Arts and Crafts, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Justorica's national animal is the Green Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Justorican Dollar.

Justorica is ranked 54th in Antarctica and 72,844th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -11 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
