The Theocracy of Emacs is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Richard Stallman with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 9.92 billion Emacsites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GNU. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emacsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,911 trillion Toenails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 192,741 Toenails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Richard Stallman tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, the GNU is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, and Blackacrean security services are wondering why Richard Stallman is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emacs's national animal is the GNU, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Emacs.

Emacs is ranked 321,937^th in the world and 53^rd in Conservative Guild for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
