The Cherry blossom of Sakura 29 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The devout population of 2.854 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, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sakura 29ian economy, worth 293 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 102,820 petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, smoking is banned in public areas, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. 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 36,365^th in the world and 85^th in International Puppet Storage for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.36 Effective Tax Rate.
