The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.726 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth a remarkable 8,654 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 281,664 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 2,762^nd in the world and 109^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 5,789.66 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
