The Monarchist Republic of Japan and America is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Naruhito with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 1.949 billion Sino-Americans 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 Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC and Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sino-American economy, worth 167 trillion Yen And Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,747 Yen And Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Japan and America" at foreigners, sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Japan and America's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Various Religions.

Japan and America is ranked 272,442^nd in the world and 3^rd in New Dominion Of Tes Cubsur for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 16,120.47 Standard Monetary Units.
