The Kingdom of Showa is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.194 billion Showans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lincoln. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Showan economy, worth a remarkable 1,529 trillion Palatiums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,402 Palatiums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, and discarded pennies litter the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Showa's national animal is the Badgerwolfbear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Showa is ranked 3,050th in the world and 17th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 3,777.66424896 days.
