The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.276 billion Despoticanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Despoticania Prime. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Despoticanian economy, worth an astonishing 24,259 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 857,960 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Despot's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. 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 17,700^th in the world and 9^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Highest Drug Use, scoring 100.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
