The Formation of 16th Army is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.098 billion Japanese are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.0%.

The strong Japanese economy, worth 125 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 59,611 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. 16th Army's national animal is the Imperial Japanese Army, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

16th Army is ranked 82,869^th in the world and 2^nd in Japanese Delegates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,815.26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
