The Idol of Kotoha is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Kotoha Tanaka with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.615 billion Kotohans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akiruno. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Kotohan economy, worth a remarkable 5,124 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and 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 amazing 308,425 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kotoha's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Kotoha is ranked 2,345th in the world and 2nd in 765 Production for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 11,439.51 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
