The Protectorate of Kozue Yusa is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 4.136 billion Kozue Yusans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Kozue Yusan economy, worth 106 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,861 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, and nobody knows why the caged rabbit sings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kozue Yusa's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Kozue Yusa is ranked 122,045th in the world and 1,769th in Ambition for Largest Populations, with 4.14 billion capita.
