The Empire of A Thousand Islands is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Empress Regent Chiharu with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 13.236 billion Nihonjin have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nihongo economy, worth a remarkable 1,437 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,630 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Thousand Islands's national animal is the Golden Carp, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Shintoism.

A Thousand Islands is ranked 214,362^nd in the world and 44^th in The Universal Federation for Highest Drug Use, scoring 85.68 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
