The Rockstar band of X-Japan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.777 billion X-Japanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant X-Japanian economy, worth 170 trillion ergerges 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Gambling. 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 15,817 ergerges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, a major religion has been named as X-Japan's national religion, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X-Japan's national animal is the ergergerg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

X-Japan is ranked 97,428th in the world and 17th in 555 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
