The Empire of Nagakawa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Tomohito with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.801 billion Nagakawans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inada. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nagakawan economy, worth a remarkable 2,059 trillion yen a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,669 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nagakawa's national animal is the red-crowned crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shintō.

Nagakawa is ranked 3,499^th in the world and 2^nd in Oatland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
