The Military Junta of Imperial Akatsuki is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Kamenev with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.599 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, 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 5.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial-Kuati economy, worth a remarkable 6,851 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 469,286 Succs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, and mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them. 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 291,008^th in the world and 14^th in The Glorious Evolution for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
