The Fiefdom of Youko Matsuzaki is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 7.61 billion Youko Matsuzakians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 64.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Youko Matsuzakian economy, worth 251 trillion leones a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,023 leones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Youko Matsuzaki's national animal is the ibis, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Youko Matsuzaki is ranked 35,085th in the world and 225th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 1,281.49717984128 days.
