The Federation of Kyushu no Yama is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 518 million Kyushuese 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kyushuese economy, worth 35.8 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,102 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Kyushu no Yama Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, bars are packed at all hours, and Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyushu no Yama's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kyushu no Yama is ranked 118,871^st in the world and 176^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 989.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
