The Constitutional Monarchy of Chosokabe Shogunate is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chōsokabe Motochika VIII with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.239 billion Japanese 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 juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokushima. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Chosokabe Shogunatean economy, worth 209 trillion Kanei Tsuhoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,449 Kanei Tsuhoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chōsokabe Motochika VIII is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, the average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections, and citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Chosokabe Shogunate's national animal is the Emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chosokabe Shogunate is ranked 66,386^th in the world and 3,134^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 71.98 on the Human Development Index.
