The Shadow Cult of Jocospor is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by HSM Agustín I with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.395 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 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jocospite economy, worth a remarkable 3,825 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 207,987 Flamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 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 282,101st in the world and 214th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 24.58 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
