The Future Funk Producer of Mikazuki Bigwave is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.751 billion Mikazuki Bigwaveans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mikazuki Bigwavean economy, worth 952 trillion bronze nickels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 165,544 bronze nickels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's suggestions box is curiously empty these days, the military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall', crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mikazuki Bigwave's national animal is the rockwarbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mikazuki Bigwave is ranked 34,542nd in the world and 63rd in Koprulu Sector for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,467.56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
