The Empire of East Wushen is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by God-Emperor Narisawa Ichiyo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.615 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 Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zi'ance. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Wushian economy, worth 299 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 114,456 Marks of Ichiyo, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, it's best to decline if God-Emperor Narisawa Ichiyo offers to buy a round of drinks, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. 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 141,033^rd in the world and 7,616^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.96 Obesity Rate.
