The Federal Republic of Nichijoun is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 266 million Nichijounians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nichijounian economy, worth 10.3 trillion yen a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,856 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nichijoun is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', and sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nichijoun's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nichijoun is ranked 82,089^th in the world and 96^th in Karma for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,115.15 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
