The Seventh Internationale of KonataLand is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Nagato Yuki with an iron fist, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.093 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eientei. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, and the country is preparing for war. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. KonataLand's national animal is the Lolcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Haruhiism, and its currency is the Deku nut.

KonataLand is ranked 4th in Gensokyo and 13,364th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 30 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
