The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 38.558 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 an astonishing 47,786 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, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 1,239,349 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, war criminals are given full state funerals, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 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 310th in the world and 1st in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Stationary, with 5,514.66313728 days.
