The United States of Emaha is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by El Presidente with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.176 billion Emahans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emaha City. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emahan economy, worth a remarkable 2,261 trillion Esoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,836 Esoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even secular Emahans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emaha's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Emaha is ranked 30,771^st in the world and 17^th in The Free Nations Region for Highest Average Incomes, with 139,836.46 Standard Monetary Units.
