The Rogue Nation of Karasu-S is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Kankurō with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.303 billion Karasu-Sians 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 relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sasori. The average income tax rate is 12.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karasu-Sian economy, worth a remarkable 6,476 trillion Senbons 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an amazing 353,832 Senbons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, golden statues of Crows line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karasu-S's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Karasu-S is ranked 324,426^th in the world and 19^th in Hollow Point for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
