The Japanese economy, worth 546 trillion Chinese Coinages a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 43,537 Chinese Coinages, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, Shintoism has been named as Jakotsu's national religion, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach.

Jakotsu's national animal is the Japanese Green Pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shintoism.
