The Protectorate of Yume Kohinata is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and avant-garde cinema. The democratic population of 7.683 billion Yume Kohinatans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Yume Kohinatan economy, worth 331 trillion dinars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,193 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yume Kohinata's national animal is the ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yume Kohinata is ranked 158,778th in the world and 1,876th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
