The Tojo Clan Subsidiary of Shibata Family is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 533 million yakuza 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.1%.
The strong yakuza economy, worth 40.5 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 75,995 yen, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.
Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, economics is a shrinking field, motorbike jousters live young and die fast, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shibata Family's national animal is the dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Shibata Family is ranked 108,456th in the world and 9th in Tojo Clan for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,304.74 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
