The Ascendant State of Janosia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alexio Barros with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.247 billion Janosians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bracara. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Janosian economy, worth 401 trillion Dinheiroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 123,545 Dinheiroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Janosia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Janosia's national animal is the Monarch Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Janosia is ranked 77,984^th in the world and 61^st in Institute of Cellulose for Most Patriotic, with 18.06 flags saluted per person per day.
