The Bungo Stay Dogs of Japan2662 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dazai with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.485 billion Japanese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shanghai. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth 138 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,330 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Japan2662's national animal is the Black Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Murder.

Japan2662 is ranked 64,708^th in the world and 1,462^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 117.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
