The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 27.368 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. 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 a remarkable 5,841 trillion 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 major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 213,447 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Distant and obscure male relatives succeed to the Yaorozu throne, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 540^th in the world and 24^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 18,402.46 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
