The Divine Shogunate of O Re Sa Ma is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.167 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 100%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in O Re Sa Ma, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. O Re Sa Ma's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
