The Japanese Empire of The Greater Tokyo Area is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shinzo Abe with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 20.013 billion Tokyoites 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, 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 6,930 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 346,323 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, the entire entry for The Greater Tokyo Area in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the tenet of free speech is held dear, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. 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 293,435th in the world and 115th in Japan for Most Armed, with 0.09 weapons per person.
