The Shadow Cult of Jocospor is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HSM Agustín I with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.344 billion Jocospites 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vocryae. The average income tax rate is 91.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Jocospite economy, worth a remarkable 3,858 trillion Flamas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 210,326 Flamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Most of the population has had bad experiences with hoes, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals", and future leaders of Jocospor regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jocospor's national animal is the Finch, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moderatism.

Jocospor is ranked 282,112th in the world and 221st in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
