The Holy Kingdom of Joaco is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.097 billion Joacoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Bajo Belgrano. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Joacoan economy, worth an astonishing 10,340 trillion kikoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 368,043 kikoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, sniffer dogs check train passengers for body odour, and Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joaco's national animal is the Carpincho, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Joaco is ranked 315,150^th in the world and 12,966^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
