The Miyamoto Shogunate of Nichirin is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Shogun Masashi Miyamoto with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.571 billion Nichirians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shinkeisei. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.3%.

The very strong Nichirian economy, worth 147 trillion Nichirinese Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,444 Nichirinese Yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,366 per year while the poor average 15,718, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, Shogun Masashi Miyamoto has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, it's a hard-knock life for the orphans doing factory work for a pittance, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nichirin's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nichirin is ranked 158,666^th in the world and 2^nd in Nichirin for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,826.46 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
