The Military Junta of Imperial Akatsuki is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Kamenev with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.612 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 5.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial-Kuati economy, worth a remarkable 6,861 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 469,589 Succs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". 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 160,605th in the world and 9th in The Glorious Evolution for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 86.63 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
