It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Equality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.
Torture is illegal, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, a government program is underway to revitalize Reploid Productions's beaches, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is totally unknown. Reploid Productions's national animal is the reploid dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the arpean yen.

Weapons of Mass Destruction:
Limited orbital bombardment capability. With the development of
Shogunate
space assets, most notably the Hand of God glass 'fleetkiller'
battleship,
and to a lessert extent the Tenmou class battleship, the Shogunate has
obtained a variety of methods for slagging targets from orbit,
including
gravity-diffusion kinetic weapons and thaumaturgic supercannons.
Military units of note:
"Queens
of the Sky": Elite 6-woman fightercraft/aerial stunt team. They fly
the RPAF-FX-0 Elite Victory fighters, the few ships of their caliber
left
after the Dividing War. Originally led by Queen Firefury herself, and
originally
twenty members strong, they are the best of the best in terms of
dogfighting,
aerial recon, bombing, etc. They were primarily responsible for the
Amahira
clan's success in driving the Nekoites out of power, after successfully
crippling the Nekoite forces in a 20 vs 300+ aerial battle.
Official Motto: "Fly fast, fight hard, forget mercy"
Unofficial Motto: "SUCK IT DOWN!"
The "Negative Zero Humor Battalion": Formed from the anti-Nekoite
propaganda
crew. This 1,000-person strong unit is akin to the Mischief Committee
of
Kitsylvania. They ride modified Bandit cycles, armed with stink bombs
and
paintballs. They have also been equiped at times with rolls of toilet
paper,
and rumor has it that they are willing to use rotten eggs.
Official Motto: "If it's stupid, vandalise it."
Unofficial Motto: "j00 b33n 0wnz0r3d!" or "w3 r0xx0r j00r b0xx0rz!"
(No, we don't know how they speak l33t aloud, either.)
Army motto: "Outgun, outmanuver, outlive"
Unofficial motto:: "We're the world's largest biker gang!"
Razor tank operators' motto: "Zoom, zoom, CRUNCH! So much for
that Infinity I30!"
Air Force motto: "With wings of steel and breath of fire, we hunt!"
Unofficial motto: "My butt's asleep."
Navy motto: "Control the seas and stars, and you control the world."
Unofficial motto: "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!"

RPRA
Techcorp:
The primary supplier for the Reploid Productions military, this company
is also spearheading the effort to recover technology that had been
lost
in the war. They help fund research and development with the sales
of civilian equipment, such as the RPRA-LX01b Bandit Mk-I civilian
version,
as well as the Harukaze business jets, and dominate the tech industry
of
the country. They are currently dedicating considerable manpower to the
"Archangel Project", following rumors of a major breakthrough in
reverse-engineering
the gravity-diffusers that enable the old Elite Victory fightercraft to
perform so well in atmosphere or space conditions.
RP Studios:
Major importer of anime in the country, RP Studios is a government
owned media corporation, responsible for much of the country's news
broadcasting
via the Reploid Productions International News. (RPIN)
Arpean Geological Survey:
Reploid Productions' seismic activity tracking center. Led by Redwing
Dragonis (a reploid dragon from the same production line as Secretary
of
Foreign Affairs Tsume Dragonis), the AGS is the nation's nerve center
for
geologic research. Most of their time is spent monitoring the Jishin
fault
line for activity, however, the center also tracks major seismic
activity
around the world and freely assists in pinpointing the epicenter,
depth,
and size of major earthquakes that occur elsewhere.
Arpean Historic Society:
Reploid Productions citizens and scientists who persue knowledge of
the ancient world. The AHS funds archaelogical digs, special programs,
and collects and organizes historic data. The AHS's studies vary
widely,
from study of ancient technology to study of ancient cultures, and even
of ancient 'magics' or other paranormal things that currently fail to
have
any sort of scientific explanation. Tsunami Drakos (combat reploid
dragon
from the Drakos production line) and Kiara Alson are reknown within the
AHS for their work in the latter field of study.
ALTIMIT Systems, Inc:
Major software developer in Reploid Productions, the company has
achieved
a nearly Microsoft-level of market domination, with their popular
computer
operating system, ALTIMIT. While they dominate the country's civilian
market,
their bids on military and government systems have been repeatedly
turned
down for undisclosed reasons. (Though rumors say it's because of
ALTIMIT
is not secure enough for government purposes.)
Arpean Thaumatology Institute:
The Shogunate's 'magitech' research group, under the leadership of
Pirika Drakos. The ATI works often with the AHS on research of ancient
cultures. The recent revelations in the Valley of Dragons expedition
have
greatly accelerated their work, and the recent victim of
thaumatological
energies, Kiara Alson, has been transfered from the AHS to the ATI,
along
with several of the so-called "Keepers of the Goddess Blades".
