The Cherry blossom of Sakura 20 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, digital currency, and public floggings. The cynical, devout population of 2.823 billion Sakura 20ians 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, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sakura 20ian economy, worth 233 trillion petals 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 82,577 petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakura 20's national animal is the green pheasant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sakura 20 is ranked 66,818^th in the world and 386^th in International Puppet Storage for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,091.13 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
