The Empire of The second sun is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.825 billion second sunians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The frighteningly efficient second sunian economy, worth 209 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 114,535 Yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 378,079 per year while the poor average 25,958, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, selling advanced CPUs to anti-second sunian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled The second sun with a very polite populace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The second sun's national animal is the Diving bombing owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The second sun is ranked 15,663^rd in the world and 3^rd in Continental Wastes for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 75,135.1 Standard Monetary Units.
