The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mikado with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 37.269 billion Yaorozu-no-tami 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth an astonishing 14,120 trillion Yaorozu yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 378,874 Yaorozu yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national anthem is considered broadly offensive to those who don't believe in Shinto, you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, and all the playground's a stage for Yaorozu schoolchildren. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 14th in the world and 1st in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 1,344 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
