The Glorious Technocratic State of Imperium of Josh is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Imperator Josh with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 17.975 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 2,909 trillion IOJ Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,841 IOJ Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, and nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium of Josh's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperium of Josh is ranked 10,283rd in the world and 16th in Karma for Most Cultured, scoring 117 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
