The BADASSATRON GIRLBOSS of Haruhi Japan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Evil Empress Callie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.51 billion Inklings are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Inkopolis. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inkling economy, worth a remarkable 5,707 trillion Salmon eggs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 495,863 Salmon eggs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haruhi Japan's national animal is the Zapfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Haruhi Japan is ranked 6,356th in the world and 1st in The Vincence Empire for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 3,836.33 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
