The Joaco Request of Dios Landia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 873 million Dios Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Querusa-Nazaretiana. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Dios Landian economy, worth 23.7 trillion Nazarets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 27,091 Nazarets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that he is in fact a crook after all, Dios Landia has designated Querusa-Nazaretiana as its capital city, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dios Landia's national animal is the Laurel.
