The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.828 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 relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Despoticania Prime. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Despoticanian economy, worth an astonishing 34,657 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, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile 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 1,088,888 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals are thrown to the Winged Unicorn Pigs to repay their debt to society, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is totally unknown. Despoticania's national animal is the Winged Unicorn Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Transcendental Hatred.

Despoticania is ranked 8,624^th in the world and 23^rd in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 3,526.46 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
