The Edit of Sad Kasumi is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kasumi Yoshizawa with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.079 billion Sad Kasumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sad Kasumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 204,837 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, war criminals are given full state funerals, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime is totally unknown. Sad Kasumi's national animal is the mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sad Kasumi is ranked 17,961^st in the world and 1^st in Alice for Nudest, with 224.25 cheeks per square mile.
