The compassionate population of 93 million -Yoshikage Kira-ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The sizeable but sluggish -Yoshikage Kira-ian economy, worth 2.78 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 29,880 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers have seized control of the economy, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Animal Dung" has been declared a national treasure, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into -Yoshikage Kira-, and TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. -Yoshikage Kira-'s national animal is the Animal.
