The Great Theocratic Empire of Jocyn is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Makino XV of Jocyn with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.271 billion Jocyniens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

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 Chateau-Royal. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient jocynien economy, worth a remarkable 5,271 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 568,563 Jocynian shillings, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,595,167 per year while the poor average 37,527, a ratio of 95.8 to 1.

Children often kick tigers for amusement, commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. 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 157^th in the world and 1^st in Calme Ybovien for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 30,944.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
