The Empire of Giappangu is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 626 million Giappanguans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.5%.

The very strong Giappanguan economy, worth 35.0 trillion Girares a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 55,962 Girares, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 170,953 per year while the poor average 14,199, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Giappangu's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Giappangu is ranked 127,552^nd in the world and 9^th in East Asia for Most Developed, scoring 57.68 on the Human Development Index.
