The Empire of Utsukushima is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ryujin Aosora with a fair hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.274 billion Utsukushimajin love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyosora. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Utsukushimajin economy, worth 666 trillion Kins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,920 Kins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, the decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by Utsukushima, and most pop videos prominently feature the Utsukushimajin flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Utsukushima's national animal is the Humble Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Taiyokoism.

Utsukushima is ranked 8,081^st in the world and 6^th in Poschomenia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,618.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
