The Democratic Republic of Kasaoka is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Youmu Konpaku with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.144 billion Kasaokans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Takahashi. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kasaokan economy, worth a remarkable 3,817 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 180,533 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, sex changes are routinely performed at Kasaoka's hospitals, voting is voluntary, and Youmu Konpaku is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kasaoka's national animal is the Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Shinto.

Kasaoka is ranked 283,564^th in the world and 23^rd in Gensokyo for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.6 kickbacks per hour.
