The Community of Lost Village Mayohiga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yukari Yakumo with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.348 billion stray cats 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yakumo Residence. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mayohigan economy, worth a remarkable 1,898 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,677 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, Yukari Yakumo panders to nontraditional families, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost Village Mayohiga's national animal is the Chen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Lost Village Mayohiga is ranked 9,723^rd in the world and 1^st in Ammitica for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,328.37 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
