Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Rising Sun's Land of Yaorozu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mikado with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 29.797 billion Yaorozu-no-tami are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaorozu economy, worth a remarkable 7,828 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 262,714 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Mikado For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Mikado's supporters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaorozu's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Yaorozu is ranked 483^rd in the world and 24^th in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 72.24 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
