The Colony of Kage-Hinode is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.029 billion Kage-Hinodeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.6%.

The Kage-Hinodean economy, worth 941 trillion hinodejin crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 52,198 hinodejin crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kage-Hinode's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kage-Hinode is ranked 59,047^th in the world and 16^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
