The Empire of West Nichibotsu is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Nakagawa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.166 billion Nichibotsuans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nichibotsuan economy, worth 469 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,443 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ghost regiments exist only on paper, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Nichibotsu's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shintoism.

West Nichibotsu is ranked 167,829^th in the world and 326^th in Council of Asia for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,428.41 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
