The Imperial States of Hanafuridake is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Rao Kou Ō with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.607 billion Hanajins are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanajima. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Hanafuridakean economy, worth 859 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 113,049 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Hanafuridakean as 'your finger, you fool', attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hanafuridake's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shingon.
Hanafuridake is ranked 10,106th in the world and 555th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
