The Kyodai of Akira Nishikiyama is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Akira Nishikiyama with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.857 billion Akira Nishikiyamen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamurocho. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Akira Nishikiyaman economy, worth 470 trillion Japanese Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 164,735 Japanese Yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 603,328 per year while the poor average 31,872, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.

Grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akira Nishikiyama's national animal is the Koi Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Akira Nishikiyama is ranked 64,921st in the world and 1st in Nishikiyama Family for Most Authoritarian, with 1,449.66 milliStalins.
