The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.733 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, 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 a remarkable 8,659 trillion 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. Average income is an amazing 281,756 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most pop videos prominently feature the Yaorozu flag, hackers post hourly updates on international summits, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, and the GPS-tracked jogging routes of military personnel are a possible security risk. 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 161,053^rd in the world and 6,594^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 46.48 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
