The Cherry blossom of Sakura 22 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.922 billion Sakura 22ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sakura 22ian economy, worth 299 trillion petals a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,493 petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakura 22's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sakura 22 is ranked 161,696^th in the world and 445^th in International Puppet Storage for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,777.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
