The Empire of Jup1ter is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 319 million Jupiterians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.8%.

The Jupiterian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Gases a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,722 Gases, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters, the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Jup1ter City skyline, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jup1ter's national animal is the Jupiter being a bozo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jup1ter is ranked 307,732^nd in the world and 6^th in Newleaf for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 585.77 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
