The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 38.755 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, 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 an astonishing 15,343 trillion Yaorozu yen 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 and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 395,915 Yaorozu yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonial subjects have Yaorozu culture shoved down their throats, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, Mikado's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, and planespotters are emigrating in droves. 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 green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 316,047^th in the world and 5,958^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -38.63 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
