The Soviet Socialist Republic of Eastern Japan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kamina Kuchiki with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 10.707 billion Japaneses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,400 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,802 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, many politicians are having to do a hard day's work for the first time in their careers, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Japan's national animal is the Macaque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thighdeology.

Eastern Japan is ranked 12,885^th in the world and 1^st in Communist Movement for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
