The Most Desirable Geisha of Hatsumomo is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.38 billion Geishas 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 69.5%.

The all-consuming Geisha economy, worth 837 trillion Imperial Coins 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 impressive 113,510 Imperial Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, and poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Hatsumomo's national animal is the Crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hatsumomo is ranked 82,394^th in the world and 10^th in Free Japan for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,552.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
