The Constitutional Monarchy of Nihon-koku is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.474 billion Japanese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.6%.

The strong Japanese economy, worth 187 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,068 yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nihon-koku's national animal is the green pheasant.

Nihon-koku is ranked 162,288^th in the world and 91^st in Japan for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
