The Nomadic Peoples of Shirokuro is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ryoga Hibiki with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 9.448 billion Japaneses are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hibiki Residence. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.

The strong Japanese economy, worth 511 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 54,136 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, the comic book series 'Ryoga Hibiki and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, and bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Shirokuro's national animal is the Shirokuro, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Shirokuro is ranked 129,367^th in the world and 16^th in Warzone Asia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
