The Dark Dominion of Sakurisa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Tiniest Elephant Ever with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.481 billion Sakurisans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corisnia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.2%.
The powerhouse Sakurisan economy, worth a remarkable 1,443 trillion Sakurisan Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 152,270 Sakurisan Marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.
Pre-eclampsia in pregnancy is treated with encouragement to take "long soothing walks", slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, many rural villagers have never been more than a day's horse-ride from their birthplace, and molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Sakurisa's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chaos.
Sakurisa is ranked 285,401st in the world and 2nd in Coristno for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -18.44 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
