The Arepa Con Queso of Julieta Madrigal is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.95 billion Julieta Madrigalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Julieta Madrigalian economy, worth 248 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,686 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, and rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Julieta Madrigal's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Julieta Madrigal is ranked 218,301st in the world and 5th in Astatontingedoan Peninsula for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
