The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 29.846 billion Despoticanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

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 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Despoticanian economy, worth an astonishing 30,945 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 1,036,854 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. 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 801^st in the world and 8^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Avoided, scoring 1,516.87 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
