The Republic of Nihonato is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Kazuki Araya with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.038 billion Japanese love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Japanese economy, worth 909 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 90,596 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Japanese are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nihonato's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shintoism.
Nihonato is ranked 38,172nd in the world and 3rd in The Roleplaying Paradise for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
