The Shining State of AnkoKurama is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hawke with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.465 billion AnkoKuramen 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stargazer. The average income tax rate is 3.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AnkoKuraman economy, worth a remarkable 4,087 trillion Starlights a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,894 Starlights, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, and typing Hawke's name into a search engine always gives zero matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AnkoKurama's national animal is the High Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Starsun.

AnkoKurama is ranked 56,877^th in the world and 2^nd in Oketoh for Most Patriotic, with 28.77 flags saluted per person per day.
