The Armed Federation of Jouqlin is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Providence with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.355 billion Jouqlinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jouqlinian economy, worth 442 trillion Ink Eyes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,620 Ink Eyes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Illegal immigration remains a hot topic, there is a dearth of space for new houses, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jouqlin's national animal is the Jabberwock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Creators Pantheon.

Jouqlin is ranked 81,378th in the world and 3,130th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,695.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
