The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 40.374 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Despoticania Prime. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Despoticanian economy, worth a staggering 50,501 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 and Arms 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 1,250,842 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Despoticania isn't what it used to be, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and monarchs only get custody of the royal crown on holidays and weekends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Despoticania's national animal is the Winged Unicorn Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Transcendental Hatred.
Despoticania is ranked 346,225th in the world and 53rd in The Alliance of Dictators for Nicest Citizens, with 0.04 average smiles per day.
