The Kingdom of Emarsund is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.604 billion Emarsundians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The very strong Emarsundian economy, worth 160 trillion Bands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 61,735 Bands, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Emarsund's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Emarsund is ranked 209,041^st in the world and 29^th in Ejiro for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
