The Republic of Kurokoma Saki is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 10.25 billion Kurokoma Sakians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Kurokoma Sakian economy, worth 88.8 trillion ergergergs 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 black market in Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 8,661 ergergergs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kurokoma Saki's national animal is the ergergerg.

Kurokoma Saki is ranked 161,746^th in the world and 6,221^st in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 457.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
