The Matriarchy of Ukyo Kuonji is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.7 billion Japaneses are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Okonomiyaki Ucchan's. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Japanese economy, worth 461 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,145 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, Leader can cry on demand, and nine-year-olds' chat logs are scoured for evidence of radicalization. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ukyo Kuonji's national animal is the Shirokuro and its national religion is Shintoism.

Ukyo Kuonji is ranked 53,662^nd in the world and 3^rd in Alayyid for Nicest Citizens, with 16.29 average smiles per day.
