The Empire of East Wushen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God-Emperor Narisawa Ichiyo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.668 billion East Wushians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zi'ance. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Wushian economy, worth a remarkable 1,046 trillion Marks of Ichiyo a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,292 Marks of Ichiyo, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Zi'ance" t-shirts, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, and God-Emperor Narisawa Ichiyo can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 Ichito.

East Wushen is ranked 233,501^st in the world and 5,832^nd in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
