The Hinodejin Empire of Kita-Hinode is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Satomi II with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.851 billion Hinodejins hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hokuto. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hinodejin economy, worth 423 trillion hinodejin crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,874 hinodejin crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Hinodejin companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, and blind dates tend to result in bruised shins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kita-Hinode's national animal is the Crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Kita-Hinode is ranked 139,956^th in the world and 59^th in Esportiva for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 57.26 Workforce Participation Rate.
