The Palace of The Earth Spirits is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Satori Komeiji with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 29.716 billion Earth Spiritsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Palace of the Earth Spirits. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Earth Spiritsian economy, worth 713 trillion danmaku bullets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,026 danmaku bullets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subterranean Animism has been named as The Earth Spirits's national religion, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Earth Spirits's national animal is the pet, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Subterranean Animism.

The Earth Spirits is ranked 135,709^th in the world and 10^th in Gensokyo for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
