The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.974 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth a remarkable 8,860 trillion Yaorozu golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 286,064 Yaorozu golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Yaorozu's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the ghost, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 82,702^nd in the world and 3,218^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 21.67 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
