Sharin no Kuni: The Girl Among the Sunflowers[a] is a visual novel video game, developed by Akabeisoft2 for Microsoft Windows in November 2005 in Japan; it was later released by 5pb.

Although nominally democratic, all aspects of society in this country are influenced by an elite stratum of people known as "Special High Class Individuals" (SHCI).

These individuals possess complete legal authority, using this to confer "obligations" – rules which if disobeyed result in confinement in a forced-labor camp – upon those whose actions are deemed detrimental to society.

[13] A manga adaptation of the original game was created by Usami Wataru and serialized in Dengeki Daioh from 2008 to 2011, and later published in three collected volumes by Kadokawa Corporation.

[3] In April 2016, Front Wing announced that they would localize and publish the game for the West under the title Wheel Country, Sunflower Girl: Sharin no Kuni, using a crowdfunding campaign to finance the release.
