The Prefecture of Settsu is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Governor Tanaka Morihide with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.114 billion Settsuans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The strong Settsuan economy, worth 127 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,293 yen, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.
