The Shibaken of Holy Souru is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Fukutaro with an iron fist, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.056 billion Sourus are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Souru Metropolis🏯. The average income tax rate is 19.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Holy Souruan economy, worth 921 trillion yen ¥s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 227,102 yen ¥s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, the Souru Metropolis🏯 State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', and Holy Souruan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Fukutaro. Crime is totally unknown. Holy Souru's national animal is the Shibaken🐶, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Happiness.

Holy Souru is ranked 9,914^th in the world and 43^rd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,842.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
