The Constitutional Monarchy of Sakuralia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 279 million Sakuralians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sakuralian economy, worth 16.9 trillion Ringgits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,451 Ringgits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, home renovation projects take decades to complete, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Sakuralia City Natural History Museum, and 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakuralia's national animal is the Ikan Emas, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sakuralia is ranked 116,280^th in the world and 186^th in Talonia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 78.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
