The Sweet Nation of Cherry Blossom Republic is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sesame Schtrom with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.17 billion Cherryians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cherrygrove City. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cherryian economy, worth 719 trillion Cherry Seeds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 139,176 Cherry Seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, the comic book series 'Sesame Schtrom and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, refugees from other nations are flocking to Cherry Blossom Republic's border, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cherry Blossom Republic's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cherry Blossom Republic is ranked 9,804^th in the world and 18^th in The Free Nations Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
