The Empire of Northern Earth Japan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Federation Council with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.25 billion Northern Earth Japanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Earth Japanian economy, worth 322 trillion Евроs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 143,152 Евроs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, the only places to see crocodiles now are at local zoos, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Earth Japan's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Religion of Tea.

Northern Earth Japan is ranked 271,108^th in the world and 232^nd in United Kingdom for Largest Black Market, with 68.6 billion Standard Monetary Units.
