The Regional Hegemony of The Greater Prosperity Sphere is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Showa with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.18 billion Japanese 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.9%.
The thriving Japanese economy, worth 807 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,301 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Greater Prosperity Sphere's national animal is the Koi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shinto.
The Greater Prosperity Sphere is ranked 17,417th in the world and 5th in The Imperial Council for Most Stationary, with 1,715.29419387768 days.
