The Japanese Empire of The Greater Tokyo Area is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shinzo Abe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 20.099 billion Tokyoites 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Greater Tokyo Arean economy, worth a remarkable 6,967 trillion yen a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 346,652 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, vaccinations are mandatory, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Greater Tokyo Area's national animal is the black headed gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shinto.
The Greater Tokyo Area is ranked 7,351st in the world and 1st in Japan for Most Corrupt Governments, with 183.04 kickbacks per hour.
