The 🌸Empire🌸 of Sakura is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.886 billion Sakurans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Industry and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The Sakuran economy, worth 367 trillion yen a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,407 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, lavish state dinners in Sakura City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sakura's national animal is the green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sakura is ranked 102,969^th in the world and 1^st in Sakura for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,370.13 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
