The Empire of Nationalist Aikoland is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Yang with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.034 billion Aikolanders are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Welfare and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aiko Heiwa City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The thriving Aikoese economy, worth a remarkable 3,171 trillion dins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,945 dins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 904,420 per year while the poor average 6,914, a ratio of 130 to 1.

Religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, the country is littered with broken homes, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nationalist Aikoland's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Nationalist Aikoland is ranked 305,407^th in the world and 23^rd in Osakaland for Most Cultured, scoring 31 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
