The Glorious Technocratic State of Imperium of Josh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Josh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical population of 18.248 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 2,958 trillion IOJ Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,132 IOJ Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, and nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium of Josh's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperium of Josh is ranked 2,337th in the world and 3rd in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,868.81 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
