The Dominion of The Imperial Confederation of Emphalia is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 36 million Emphalians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The very strong Emphalian economy, worth 2.42 trillion Ises a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 67,128 Ises, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

The army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, public parks are on the upswing, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imperial Confederation of Emphalia's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Imperial Confederation of Emphalia is ranked 132,922^nd in the world and 254^th in Conch Kingdom for Safest, scoring 68.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
