The August Realm of Kogukoku is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Divine Maiden Hiyori Fujitani with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 1.34 billion Kogukokuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanshokyo. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kogukokuan economy, worth 173 trillion mons a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,619 mons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When you fly on Air Kogukoku you win a seat or you die, criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and the blind lead the blind in social welfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kogukoku's national animal is the White Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kogukyo.

Kogukoku is ranked 182,977^th in the world and 2,010^th in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,654.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
