The Little Brotherhood of The Real Matrix is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Joseph with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.161 billion followers of Joseph 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joseph City. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Josephic economy, worth an astonishing 45,043 trillion monies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 997,408 monies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,523,727 per year while the poor average 90,643, a ratio of 60.9 to 1.

Politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, dinosaur breeders have a yabba-dabba-doo gay old time in The Real Matrix, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Real Matrix's national animal is the viper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Josephism.

The Real Matrix is ranked 307,383rd in the world and 19th in The Axis of Evil for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.47 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
