The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Despot with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 34.724 billion Despoticanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, 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 39,746 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, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 1,144,637 Despollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Soldiers are authorised to use lethal force to maintain calm in the crash zone, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and Despoticanian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock.

Despoticania's national animal is the Winged Unicorn Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Transcendental Hatred.
Despoticania is ranked 344th in the world and 1st in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Stationary, with 4,875.66354624 days.
