The Federal State of Sabutaka is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ryuto Tachibana with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.71 billion Sabutanese enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noyōkami. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sabutakan economy, worth 558 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,572 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes all major gold finds, refugees from other nations are flocking to Sabutaka's border, there's never enough space in space, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sabutaka's national animal is the Black Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Sabutaka is ranked 34,824^th in the world and 43^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,155.95 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
