The Rejected Empire of Of Emus is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Council with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.841 billion Emus have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Floating City. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The strong Emusian economy, worth 319 trillion Torn Feathers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 54,667 Torn Feathers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the Federal Council of Of Emus has been announced as the new Head of State, OE-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Of Emus's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Councilism.

Of Emus is ranked 212,218^th in the world and 1,248^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 396 billion Standard Monetary Units.
