The Nomadic Peoples of Jakotsu is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Bankotsu with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.164 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Public Transport, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The Japanese economy, worth 311 trillion Chinese Coinages a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 43,537 Chinese Coinages, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, Shintoism has been named as Jakotsu's national religion, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jakotsu's national animal is the Japanese Green Pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Jakotsu is ranked 114,329^th in the world and 5,135^th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.82 kickbacks per hour.
