The Kingdom of Taiyangshen is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The democratic, devout population of 50 million Taiyangshenians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Taiyangshenian economy, worth 2.25 trillion Yuan a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,024 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Taiyangshen City skyline, and appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiyangshen's national animal is the Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Taiyangshen is ranked 168,102^nd in the world and 4^th in Asia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,342.09 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
