The Shogunate of Wakoshima is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 541 million Wakōu 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saikyō. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.1%.
The very strong Wakōshiman economy, worth 40.2 trillion sens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,358 sens, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.
The latest drugs are only legally available to private patients, neighboring nations are tired of Wakoshima's big fish stories, gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wakoshima's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Wakoshima is ranked 267,332nd in the world and 3,331st in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
