The Kingdom of Emerstari is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Eric XII Georges with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, fear of technology, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 21.385 billion Emerstarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Renshalle. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emerstarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,707 trillion Scilles a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 126,611 Scilles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export, most ambassadors from Emerstari retire only a few years after being appointed, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emerstari's national animal is the Emerstarian Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Emerstari is ranked 34,419^th in the world and 3^rd in Arda en Estel for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,470.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
