The Republic of USS Juneau is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 10.178 billion USS Juneauans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forward Turret 1. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient USS Juneauan economy, worth 351 trillion Brasses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,578 Brasses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When their backs are against the walls USS Juneauans look out for gay men, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity, and Leader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. USS Juneau's national animal is the 40mm Bofors, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

USS Juneau is ranked 198,035^th in the world and 2^nd in Chaylia for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 41.96 on the Hayek Index.
