The Hinodejin Empire of Kita-Hinode is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Satomi II with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.892 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hokuto. The average income tax rate is 73.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hinodejin economy, worth 756 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. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,819 hinodejin crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. 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 30,017^th in the world and 24^th in Esportiva for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.54 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
