The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 818 million 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 Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the government pours millions of despollars into rehabilitation programs annually, and abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Despoticania's national animal is the pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the despollar.
