The Great Holy Empire of Hokaidoi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Holy Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2 billion Hokaidoians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utumno. The average income tax rate is 79.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Hokaidoian economy, worth 410 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 205,380 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hokaidoi's national animal is the Eldritch Horror, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shotoism.
Hokaidoi is ranked 13,763rd in the world and 1st in The Empire Of Hokaidoi for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100.03 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
