The Holy Kingdom of Joaco is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.516 billion Joacoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Bajo Belgrano. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Joacoan economy, worth an astonishing 10,517 trillion kikoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 368,816 kikoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), posters on 'Joacoan Values' advise against being proud of Joaco, Joacoans incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joaco's national animal is the Carpincho, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Joaco is ranked 227th in the world and 12th in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 105.83 Effective Tax Rate.
