The Dictatorship of UshiYasha IV is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Our Infallible Glorious Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, hatred of cheese, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.616 billion UshiYasha IVians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.6%.

The powerhouse UshiYasha IVian economy, worth a remarkable 1,619 trillion twytttnqqynlyyyyllllls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 212,602 twytttnqqynlyyyyllllls, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and a government program is underway to revitalize UshiYasha IV's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UshiYasha IV's national animal is the demented samurai cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

UshiYasha IV is ranked 5,257^th in the world and 4^th in Spiritus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,535.38 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
