The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.858 billion Despoticanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Despoticania Prime. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Despoticanian economy, worth an astonishing 34,669 trillion Despollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 1,088,263 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Despoticanians. Crime is totally unknown. Despoticania's national animal is the Winged Unicorn Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Transcendental Hatred.
Despoticania is ranked 238,642nd in the world and 106th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Politically Free, scoring 0.43 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
