The Tornado Queendom Legitamists of The Emu Federation is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Emu Empress Tornado Molly with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.356 billion Emus are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The powerhouse Australian economy, worth 719 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 76,931 Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 476,214 per year while the poor average 5,367, a ratio of 88.7 to 1.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and dream holidays often go awry. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Emu Federation's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Emu Federation is ranked 316,312^th in the world and 39^th in The Forge for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -7.75 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
