The Federal Republic of Emasin is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.89 billion Emasineans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kara-by. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Emasinean economy, worth 712 trillion Gils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 103,389 Gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, the government is seen as openly hostile to all religion, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emasin's national animal is the Narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Emasin is ranked 249,729^th in the world and 1^st in Irillia for Most Primitive, scoring -151.56 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
