The People's Republic of The of Japan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kuzuo Shii with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.492 billion Japanese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyoto. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth a remarkable 2,850 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 248,041 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The of Japan's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

The of Japan is ranked 4,526th in the world and 206th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 176 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
