The Empire of Emu-Land is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 167 million Emumins love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Emu-Landian economy, worth 10.7 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,118 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emu-Land's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Emu-Land is ranked 19,609^th in the world and 31^st in Eurth for Safest, scoring 114.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
