The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.731 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth a remarkable 7,790 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 262,036 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 469^th in the world and 20^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 99.18 Atheism Rate.
