The United States of Japled is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning giraffe population. The hard-working, democratic population of 186 million Japledians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The strong Japledian economy, worth 10.8 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 58,231 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Japled's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Japled is ranked 92,262^nd in the world and 82^nd in Benigtopia for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
