The Shadow Cult of Jocospor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by HSM Agustín I with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, flagrant waste-dumping, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.366 billion Jocospites 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.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vocryae. The average income tax rate is 91.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Jocospite economy, worth a remarkable 3,863 trillion Flamas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 210,340 Flamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Most of the population has had bad experiences with hoes, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals", and future leaders of Jocospor regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jocospor's national animal is the Finch, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moderatism.

Jocospor is ranked 5,852nd in the world and 21st in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,516.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
