The E5 Series Shinkansen of The Featured Region Express is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Train Conductor Kai with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.163 billion Featured Region Express Passengers 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."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Industry, Public Transport, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A E5 Shinkansen Locomotive. The average income tax rate is 74.4%.
The powerhouse Featured Region Express Passenger economy, worth 185 trillion Passenger Tickets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Gambling and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 58,710 Passenger Tickets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
The government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, Train Conductor Kai has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes, and stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. The Featured Region Express's national animal is the Arctic Tern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Railfan.
The Featured Region Express is ranked 183,839th in the world and 49th in Tarkin for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 67.71 Workforce Participation Rate.
