The Empire of Takeshiro is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Hiro with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 20.686 billion Takeshiroans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Kyoto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The thriving Takeshiroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,398 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 67,586 yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,193 per year while the poor average 8,630, a ratio of 36.6 to 1.

The might of the nation's military are undertaking a long march to colonisation in Brasilistan, the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and army rations are served on silver platters. Crime is moderate. Takeshiro's national animal is the crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Takeshiro is ranked 237,210^th in the world and 1^st in Outer Heaven for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
