The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.302 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 juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.
Houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemetaries, children are raised bilingual from an early age, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and biology and religious education classes have recently been merged. 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.
History and politics
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...
At first, Despoticania seemed to favor rich over the poor, and it's UN classification was a "Corporate Police State". However, the Despot started relatively soon to pay more attantion on social welfare, because the people of the recently conquered periphery regions had begun to despise their new government, which didn't back then have the necessary military power to pacify the situation. Now Despoticania is classified as a "Father Knows Best State", although the nation's military forces have long since become one of the strongest in the region.
The Despot
Not much is known about the mysterious Despot, ruler of the Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania.
The Despot is a mystery, both to the foreign intelligence angencies and his own people. Nobody knows his real name or birthdate, but he seems to be in his late forties or early fifties. Analyzing his age is made harder by the fact that he ALWAYS wears sunglasses and black military cap. The Despot himself claims that his age or background are not important, as he is on a mission to restore the World under perfect, Dictatorship government, which is waiting for right time to seize power and claim global domination. Some believe that the Despot is part of such secret societies as the Illuminati or the Freemasons. This has not been confirmed, however. (The Despot himself claims that the truth about his possible membership in such societies is not important, as he is on a mission...)
