The Fire Soldier of Tamaki Kotatsu is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tamaki Kotatsu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.605 billion Tamaki Kotatsuans 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exhinia. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tamaki Kotatsuan economy, worth 466 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,402 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, the Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, and 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive. Crime is totally unknown. Tamaki Kotatsu's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.
