The Half-Vampire Lady of Kujo Ringo is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.243 billion Kujo Ringoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.7%.

The powerhouse Kujo Ringoan economy, worth 364 trillion yen a year, is highly specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,387 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 122,750 per year while the poor average 9,710, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, and politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Kujo Ringo's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kujo Ringo is ranked 103,869^th in the world and 481^st in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 837.15 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
