The Imperial Shogunate of Oshima Bafuku is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Shogun Takeshi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.806 billion Wokou are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nankō-to. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wokou economy, worth a remarkable 2,151 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 182,264 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Nankō-to, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oshima Bafuku's national animal is the Hokkaido Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Three Teachings.

Oshima Bafuku is ranked 71,847th in the world and 188th in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
