The Japanese Empire of The Greater Tokyo Area is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Shinzo Abe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 20.062 billion Tokyoites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Tokyo Arean economy, worth a remarkable 6,953 trillion yen a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 346,606 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, protests are legal but strictly supervised, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Greater Tokyo Area's national animal is the black headed gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shinto.

The Greater Tokyo Area is ranked 1,266^th in the world and 1^st in Japan for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 36,351.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
