The Grand Duchy of Julich is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working population of 17.945 billion Jülichers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jülich. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The very strong Jülicher economy, worth 932 trillion marks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 51,972 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,764 per year while the poor average 13,186, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, Julich has designated Jülich as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Julich in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Julich's national religion. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Julich's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Julich is ranked 275,618^th in the world and 52^nd in Cities for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -6.32 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
