The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.112 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 9,015 trillion Yaorozu golds 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 289,784 Yaorozu golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, billions of Yaorozu golds are spent to take high-quality photos of the Ghost Nebula, and EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise. 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 ghost, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 240,206^th in the world and 9,681^st in The North Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 4.83 Insults Per Minute.
