The Commonwealth of Motoko Higashiura is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 7.687 billion Motoko Higashiurans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Motoko Higashiuran economy, worth 483 trillion quetzals a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,887 quetzals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Motoko Higashiura's national animal is the ibis, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Motoko Higashiura is ranked 150,772^nd in the world and 1,687^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
