The Republic of Takumai is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 567 million Takumaians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.9%.
The strong Takumaian economy, worth 36.4 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 64,158 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
It's said that a Takumaian always pays his debts with significant compounding, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Takumai City. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Takumai's national animal is the Tech Deck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Takumai is ranked 79,476th in the world and 4,183rd in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 18.25 Atheism Rate.
