The Eternal Shrine Maiden of Hakurei-sama is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.114 billion Hakurei-samen are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The strong Hakurei-saman economy, worth 475 trillion rtgrtgrtgs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,966 rtgrtgrtgs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,792 per year while the poor average 3,765, a ratio of 73.0 to 1.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, the richest citizens live in sheltered private citadels, a major religion has been named as Hakurei-sama's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Hakurei-sama in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hakurei-sama's national animal is the rtgrtg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hakurei-sama is ranked 90,495th in the world and 48th in 555 for Most Stationary, with 500.83397113272 days.
