The Empire of Kasujima is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 108 million Kasujimans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 20.8%.

The very strong Kasujiman economy, worth 7.48 trillion Kasujiman Dollars 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 69,251 Kasujiman Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Kasujima, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Kasujima's national animal is the Kasujiman Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kasujima is ranked 187,544^th in the world and 92^nd in Japan for Safest, scoring 52.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
