The Colony of Karasushima is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.745 billion Karasushimen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The Karasushiman economy, worth 859 trillion hinodejin crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,448 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. Karasushima's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Karasushima is ranked 249,282^nd in the world and 100^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
