The Kingdom of Sakurea is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 1.355 billion Sakureans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sakusudo. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The strong Sakurean economy, worth 79.1 trillion Sakurites a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,386 Sakurites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, Sakurea has designated Sakusudo as its capital city, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Sakurea's national animal is the Sakurean Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sakurea is ranked 95,559^th in the world and 3^rd in Estellia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 100.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
