The Shogunate of Wakoshima is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tokugawa Nobuhide with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.853 billion Wakōu 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Environment, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saikyō. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The powerhouse Wakōshiman economy, worth 215 trillion Sens a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,529 Sens, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, and the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Tokugawa Nobuhide in ermine and velvet garb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wakoshima's national animal is the Koi fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Teidō.

Wakoshima is ranked 314,249th in the world and 3,717th in the West Pacific for Most Secular, with 0.98 Atheism Rate.
