The Empire of East Wushen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God-Emperor Narisawa Ichiyo with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.406 billion East Wushians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zi'ance. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Wushian economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 trillion Marks of Ichiyo a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,065 Marks of Ichiyo, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art, water fights now end with thousands dead, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and East Wushians believe manners maketh the leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Wushen's national animal is the Imperial Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ichito.

East Wushen is ranked 246,790^th in the world and 10,670^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -12.07 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
