The State of J a p a n is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Reiwa with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.535 billion Japanese 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth 874 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 158,040 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The prisoners of Azkatraz have a new emperor, there's a bright dawn ahead for J a p a n, freed serfs and former nobles exchange awkward glances in the produce aisle, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. J a p a n's national animal is the Macaque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintoism.

J a p a n is ranked 40,157^th in the world and 20^th in Japan for Most Developed, scoring 79.67 on the Human Development Index.
