The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mikado with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 37.493 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, 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 an astonishing 14,280 trillion Yaorozu 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 and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 380,882 Yaorozu yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, government employees from Yaorozu dominate international lumberjack competitions, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, and a vast monorail network carries people all over 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 291,283^rd in the world and 6,375^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -102.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
