The Taogawa Clan of Nippongo is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Kenichi Taogawa with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.676 billion Nikkeisi have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nikkei economy, worth 680 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 101,846 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", immigrants who don't like the taste of Nikkei Turnip Chips are immediately deported, autumn landscape paintings feature men stripping leaves from bare branches with a vacuum, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nippongo's national animal is the Pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Nippongo is ranked 174,345th in the world and 7th in Holding Cell for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.85 percentage of bribes refused.
