The Cherry blossom of Sakura 29 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 2.874 billion Sakura 29ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sakura 29ian economy, worth 299 trillion petals 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 major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 104,108 petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, exterminators swarm Sakura 29ian homes, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, and pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Sakura 29ian roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakura 29's national animal is the green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sakura 29 is ranked 39,180^th in the world and 129^th in International Puppet Storage for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,314.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
