The Empire of the Rising Sun of Haruhi Japan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress of the Sun with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.757 billion Japanese 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Tokyo Palace City. The average income tax rate is 83.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth a remarkable 4,753 trillion Imperial yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 487,204 Imperial yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, children grow up believing the sun to be a myth, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Empress of the Sun's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haruhi Japan's national animal is the green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Shintoism.

Haruhi Japan is ranked 1,659th in the world and 1st in The Vincence Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 151.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
