The Pan-Asian Empire of Japan and Pacific States is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shogun Yuuhi Koubuin with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 17.506 billion Japanese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyoto. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth a remarkable 2,798 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,856 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Shogun Yuuhi Koubuin shot first, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Japanese, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Japan and Pacific States's national animal is the Koi fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Shinto.

Japan and Pacific States is ranked 18,622^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Dimensional Rift for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
