The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, cheerful population of 37.509 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth an astonishing 14,316 trillion Yaorozu yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 381,678 Yaorozu yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 8^th in the world and 1^st in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 315.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
