The Federal Republic of Japtilas is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Federal Council of Japtilas with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 1.833 billion Japtilasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japtilopolis. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japtilasian economy, worth 318 trillion Japtis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 173,487 Japtis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Japtilas's national animal is the Stock Exchange, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Japtilas is ranked 65,127^th in the world and 103^rd in Nordic Lands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,616 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
