The Republic of Janapa is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kendrick Mehans with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.982 billion Janapans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janapa City. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The thriving Janapan economy, worth 945 trillion Japs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Average income is 72,758 Japs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Bars are packed at all hours, shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, nose plugs are the latest Janapan fashion accessory, and endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Janapa's national animal is the Parakeet, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Janapa is ranked 78,890^th in the world and 54^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 68.4 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
