The Violet Duchy of Emerie is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tar-Ciryatan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.282 billion Emeris 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldalondė. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Emeriean economy, worth a remarkable 4,452 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 257,638 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
An endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, the 'sing-a-long with Tar-Ciryatan' album is a popular souvenir, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime is totally unknown. Emerie's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Emerie is ranked 1,952nd in the world and 75th in Balder for Safest, scoring 148.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
