The Republic of Old Emporia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 14.496 billion Old Emporians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rapture. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Old Emporian economy, worth a remarkable 1,638 trillion dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,065 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Old Emporia's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Old Emporia is ranked 307,160th in the world and 5,919th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.06 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
