The Military Junta of Imperial Akatsuki is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Kamenev with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.333 billion Imperial-Kuatians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harnaidan. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial-Kuati economy, worth a remarkable 6,644 trillion Succs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip 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 amazing 463,582 Succs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Imperial Akatsuki, Imperial-Kuati watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, the national Police Academies have dedicated infant wings, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Akatsuki's national animal is the Hollow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Imperial Akatsuki is ranked 306,662nd in the world and 15th in The Glorious Evolution for Most Cultured, scoring -425 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
