The Empire of Sakura Navy is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by IJN Nagato with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.709 billion Japanese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 40.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Japanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 175,770 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The official Japanese Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the government byline is that a media campaign a day keeps international criticism at bay, and the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Sakura Navy's mid-life crisis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakura Navy's national animal is the Macaque, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Sakura Navy is ranked 62,536^th in the world and 1^st in Londynium Naval Treaty for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 5,032.37 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
