The Revolutionary Republic of Jurestist is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by 47th Council of Executives with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.038 billion Jurestistians 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saerrol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.3%.

The very strong Jurestistian economy, worth 860 trillion Gols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 40,923 Gols, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jurestist's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Jurestist is ranked 114,165th in the world and 8th in Union of Republics for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 151.46 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
