The State of Kunashiri is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Zer0 with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 893 million Kunashirians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Infungius. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kunashirian economy, worth 89.3 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,015 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kunashiri's national animal is the Nine Tail Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kunashiri is ranked 226,841^st in the world and 1^st in Japan like the anime for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -8.81 on the Hayek Index.
