The Most Serene Republic of The Hakurei is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, aversion to nipples, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 481 million Reimuites enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yakumograd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hakureian economy, worth 41.7 trillion Mons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 86,669 Mons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 596,521 per year while the poor average 4,484, a ratio of 133 to 1.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, the nation leads United fraternal nations of gensokyo for unlikely accidents and truffle consumption, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, and hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Hakurei's national animal is the Reimungton 870, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Hakurei is ranked 79,827^th in the world and 1^st in United fraternal nations of gensokyo for Highest Average Incomes, with 86,669.45 Standard Monetary Units.
