The Stellar Military Domain of Date Clan II is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Daimyo Date Terumasa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.649 billion Andarian Stellar Date Samurais are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iwateyama Castle. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Andarian Stellar Date Samurai economy, worth 218 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,947 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Date Clan II's national animal is the Seahorse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Pantheism.

Date Clan II is ranked 36,650^th in the world and 1^st in The Aquarius Constellation for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,900.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
