The Holy Kingdom of Joaco is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.687 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 a remarkable 9,789 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 366,836 kikoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. 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 54,503rd in the world and 634th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 807.14207370652 days.
