The Empire of Akita-saki is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Niko Nara-Kita with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.972 billion Akita-sakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sakai-osaki. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Akita-sakian economy, worth 261 trillion Osas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,469 Osas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, nothing gets the party jumping like Emperor Niko Nara-Kita specifying how high, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Akita-saki, and weekends are spent tilting at windmills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akita-saki's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Akita-saki is ranked 22,978^th in the world and 27^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,629.74 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
