The Imperium of The Rising Sun of Doom is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Rogarius I with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.688 billion Rising Sun of Doomians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunny Doncaster. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Doomian economy, worth a remarkable 2,420 trillion Ogs 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, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 amazing 314,869 Ogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft', talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rising Sun of Doom's national animal is the Manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rogariousism.
The Rising Sun of Doom is ranked 31,801st in the world and 1,892nd in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 60.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
