The Military Junta of Imperial Akatsuki is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Kamenev with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.655 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 6,909 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 471,501 Succs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Imperial-Kuati Liberator", politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, and organ donation rates have hit a new low. 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 919^th in the world and 2^nd in The Glorious Evolution for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,011.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
