The Realm of Godzilla is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Godzilla with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.578 billion Godzillans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great Underwater Basin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Godzillan economy, worth a remarkable 4,951 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 240,610 yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,052,080 per year while the poor average 34,714, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Godzilla's national animal is the lizard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Japanese Monster Movies.

Godzilla is ranked 8,062^nd in the world and 1^st in Monster Island for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 453 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
