The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful population of 28.046 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 6,387 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 major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 227,755 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, the Yaorozu delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 161,644^th in the world and 8,613^th in The North Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring -89.11 on the Rand Index.
