The Empire of Junigo is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 718 million Junigoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Administration and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Couthon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Junigoan economy, worth 93.4 trillion Tsikoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 130,144 Tsikoes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 812,188 per year while the poor average 8,892, a ratio of 91.3 to 1.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Junigoan mussels the biggest in the West Pacific, people experiencing anaphylactic shock are told to buck their ideas up, Leader has killer fashion sense, and government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Junigo's national animal is the Reconstrictor boa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Junigo is ranked 115,157th in the world and 942nd in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 58.74 on the Human Development Index.
