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 multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.276 billion East Wushians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zi'ance. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Wushian economy, worth 597 trillion Marks of Ichiyo a year, is broadly diversified 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 113,341 Marks of Ichiyo, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, the national Police Academies have dedicated infant wings, gambling is outlawed, and interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories". 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 Ichiyoto.

East Wushen is ranked 32,435^th in the world and 1,572^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.78 Effective Tax Rate.
