The Theocracy of Royal Palm Isles is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Riho with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, avowedly heterosexual populace, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.099 billion Royal Palm Islesians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shinagawa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Royal Palm Islesian economy, worth 643 trillion Palm Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,176 Palm Yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 495,568 per year while the poor average 21,831, a ratio of 22.7 to 1.

Skateparks can be found in every city, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, hell is not always other people, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Royal Palm Isles's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Royal Palm Isles is ranked 40,090^th in the world and 1^st in Rihogawa Prefecture for Largest Governments, scoring 24.47 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
