The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.05 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries.
Major cities are suffering under water rationing, the government pours millions of despollars into rehabilitation programs annually, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Despoticania's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Despollar.
Despoticania was founded in 2006 AD by a group of political dissidents from all over the world. After securing a remote location as their base, they started to spread their influence over the nearby periphery regions. Now Despoticania is a large and powerful nation, ruled with an iron fist by a mysterious figure known only as "The Despot". While the Despot claims to be a benevolent dictator, the nation spends enormous amounts of money to defence, law and order, and the government constantly tightens its grip of the citizens.
Soon after rising to power, the mysterious Despot joined the Alliance of Dictators, since he thought it would be good to have allies during these dictator-hostile times. Although democracy now flourishes in most parts of the world, Despoticania's government believes it to be only a temporary boom, which soon dies and gives the world back to the only true form of government: dictatorship...
