The United States of Juddlight is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Samson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.248 billion Juddlightians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samway City. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Juddlightian economy, worth a remarkable 1,214 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,213 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government election advice reads like a restaurant menu, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, kindhearted Juddlightians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, and airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Juddlight's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Venturism.

Juddlight is ranked 25,322^nd in the world and 82^nd in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 81,947.98 Standard Monetary Units.
