The Great Theocratic Empire of Jocyn is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Makino X of Jocyn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.678 billion Jocyniens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Château-Royal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.2%.
The frighteningly efficient jocynien economy, worth a remarkable 3,968 trillion Jocynian shillings a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 516,857 Jocynian shillings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,106,620 per year while the poor average 15,599, a ratio of 263 to 1.
Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, and women who miscarry have their death-masks displayed in the Wax Museum's "Sociopaths and Serial Killers Exhibit". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Jocyn's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Makinist Upper Order.
Jocyn is ranked 2,178th in the world and 8th in Calme Ybovien for Lowest Crime Rates, with 141.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
