The State of J a p a n is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Reiwa with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.556 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth 868 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,402 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, wandering Japanese are known for their one-track minds, Bambi has been banned, and national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. J a p a n's national animal is the Macaque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintoism.

J a p a n is ranked 2,061^st in the world and 2^nd in Japan for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 14,190.15 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
