The Imperial Capital of Kashimura is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Amaterasu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.725 billion Kashimurans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sakai. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kashimuran economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion Tomis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,683 Tomis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, edutainment video games are taking Kashimura's students to the next level, the Kashimuran Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kashimura's national animal is the Shinonome Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Shintoism.

Kashimura is ranked 31,686^th in the world and 1^st in the Yomese Empire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 211.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
