The Bassist of Akiyama Mio is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Akiyama Mio with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.062 billion Akiyama Mioans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuko. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The powerhouse Akiyama Mioan economy, worth 706 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 99,983 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

People often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, a government program is underway to revitalize Akiyama Mio's beaches, and all the playground's a stage for Akiyama Mioan schoolchildren. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Akiyama Mio's national animal is the pelican, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Akiyama Mio is ranked 77,764^th in the world and 46^th in Victory for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,310.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
