Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Daiteikoku of Imperial--japan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Motoyasu with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.53 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Imperial--japan, the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands, and the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial--japan's national animal is the koi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Shintō, and its currency is the Yen.

Imperial--japan is ranked 8th in Nationalist Commonwealth of Free Regions and 59,518th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.322 Stalins.
