The Republic of Rice Insun is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.837 billion Rice Insuns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camphor Tree. The average income tax rate is 52.3%.

The powerhouse Edible economy, worth 714 trillion acorns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,185 acorns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Leader will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rice Insun's national animal is the totoro, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rice Insun is ranked 132,323^rd in the world and 68^th in Japan for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 715.85 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
