The Rеich of Joschitika is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Josh III with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.575 billion Joschitikans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joschika. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Joschitikan economy, worth a remarkable 1,643 trillion Josches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,633 Josches, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 898,458 per year while the poor average 17,590, a ratio of 51.1 to 1.

Businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, and prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joschitika's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Joschitika is ranked 7,544th in the world and 2nd in United Fascist Workers Association for Most Corrupt Governments, with 180.82 kickbacks per hour.
