The Glorious Technocratic State of Imperium of Josh is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Imperator Josh with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.335 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 3,794 trillion IOJ Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 162,628 IOJ Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, and nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium of Josh's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperium of Josh is ranked 4,215^th in the world and 11^th in Karma for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 604.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
