The Hinodejin Empire of Kita-Hinode is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Satomi II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.3 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 72.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Hinodejin economy, worth 361 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 109,477 hinodejin crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

One of the most popular models in Kita-Hinode has a scarred face and one working eye, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and Hinodejin companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. 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.
