The Empire of Dai-Kitanihon is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 8 million Dai-Kitanihonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dai-Kitanihonian economy, worth 412 billion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 51,589 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and the military will start wars with other nations on a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dai-Kitanihon's national animal is the Shiba Inu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dai-Kitanihon is ranked 241,827^th in the world and 378^th in Bozarkia for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
