The Photographer of Seto Miyako is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8.824 billion Seto Miyakoans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The strong Seto Miyakoan economy, worth 541 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,322 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,383 per year while the poor average 12,305, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seto Miyako's national animal is the fan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Seto Miyako is ranked 123,657^th in the world and 367^th in Remembrance for Highest Average Incomes, with 61,322.44 Standard Monetary Units.
