The Most Serene Republic of Judith is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bertha with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.762 billion Judithians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edith. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Judithian economy, worth a remarkable 2,964 trillion cows a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 136,204 cows, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown. Judith's national animal is the Iguana, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Judith is ranked 32,291^st in the world and 1^st in Argo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
