The State of J a p a n is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Reiwa with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.75 billion Japanese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth 904 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 157,304 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, the crispy fried liver of a Macaque is prized as a tasty treat by vagrants, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. J a p a n's national animal is the Macaque, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shintoism.

J a p a n is ranked 282,692^nd in the world and 104^th in Japan for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -12 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
