The Empire of The empire of rising sun is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Filippo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.048 billion empire of rising sunians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.
The frighteningly efficient empire of rising sunian economy, worth 377 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 123,735 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, nations across the world are quick to praise Emperor Filippo's good looks and intellectual prowess, half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', and repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The empire of rising sun's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Goddess emperor.
The empire of rising sun is ranked 123,801st in the world and 4,378th in Lazarus for Most Extreme, scoring 21.29 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
