The Empire of East Wushen is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by God-Emperor Narisawa Ichiyo with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.227 billion East Wushians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zi'ance. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Wushian economy, worth 252 trillion Marks of Ichiyo a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,474 Marks of Ichiyo, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, and the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Wushen's national animal is the Imperial Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Narisawaism.

East Wushen is ranked 41,963^rd in the world and 2,160^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 53.24 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
