The Kingdom of Japhan is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The democratic population of 56 million Japhanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Japhanian economy, worth 2.83 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,454 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, The North Pacific holds its breath as nuclear warfare is being seriously considered, the nation is weighing the price of victory following a nuclear strike, and those who cut young children are told to cut it out.

Japhan's national animal is the Macaque Monkeys, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Japhan is ranked 117,303^rd in the world and 4,496^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 36.02 Effective Tax Rate.
