The Armed Republic of Kaminokaze is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 353 million Arsonists are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 26.6%.

The Arsonist economy, worth 19.7 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,806 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and behind every local dictator is an Arsonist advisor whispering in their ear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaminokaze's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaminokaze is ranked 236,062^nd in the world and 32^nd in Byzantion for Largest Populations, with 353 million capita.
