The United Realms of Emdilur is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amtur with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.422 billion Emdilurians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geldrazet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Emdilurian economy, worth 262 trillion Kertus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 184,090 Kertus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,285,559 per year while the poor average 9,097, a ratio of 141 to 1.

Calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence, women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Emdilur's national animal is the Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chthonism.

Emdilur is ranked 12,452^nd in the world and 14^th in The League for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
