The Holy Kingdom of Joaco is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.389 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 10,456 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 368,311 kikoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, diaper sales are up, citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. 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 229^th in the world and 10^th in Lazarus for Largest Governments, scoring 91.89 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
