The Free Republic of Jocotepec is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Cynthia Salty Potatochip with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 18.784 billion Federales are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Jocotepec. The average income tax rate is 93.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tepec economy, worth a remarkable 3,855 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 205,278 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The New Tepec Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, preservative-laden Tepec cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, and dentists routinely perform open heart surgery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jocotepec's national animal is the Toro Morado, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Holy Order of Guacamole.

Jocotepec is ranked 187,382nd in the world and 14th in Axixican Confederation for Most Stationary, with 66.80622807732 days.
