The Empire of The Nippon Teikoku is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Empress Momo Kawashima with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.116 billion Japanese are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Nippon Teikokuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 101,683 Yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,879 per year while the poor average 24,957, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

The drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, and meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nippon Teikoku's national animal is the Koi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sensha-Do.

The Nippon Teikoku is ranked 328,534^th in the world and 872^nd in Council of Asia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -14.14 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
