The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mikado with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 37.488 billion Yaorozu-no-tami 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth an astonishing 14,277 trillion Yaorozu yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 380,861 Yaorozu yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, and government employees from Yaorozu dominate international lumberjack competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 106^th in the world and 6^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 43,517.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
