The Rogue Nation of Karasu-S is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Kankurō with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 13.097 billion Karasu-Sians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sasori. The average income tax rate is 6.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karasu-Sian economy, worth a remarkable 4,024 trillion Senbons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 307,284 Senbons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, the mob vote is a crucial electoral demographic, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, and politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karasu-S's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Karasu-S is ranked 90,647^th in the world and 7^th in Hollow Point for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,672.16 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
