The Rogue Nation of Karasu-S is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Kankurō with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 13.116 billion Karasu-Sians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sasori. The average income tax rate is 7.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Karasu-Sian economy, worth a remarkable 4,057 trillion Senbons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 309,346 Senbons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karasu-S's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Karasu-S is ranked 237,671st in the world and 5th in Hollow Point for Most Beautiful Environments, with 349.49 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
