The Imperial Islands of NipponAlbion is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Prime Minister David Shinzo with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.544 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo-on-Thames. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

It is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, refugees from other nations are flocking to NipponAlbion's border, euthanasia is illegal, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NipponAlbion's national animal is the akitabulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Anglo-Shintoism, and its currency is the yensterling.

NipponAlbion is ranked 6th in Japan and 4,030th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 13 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
