The Republic of Emlay is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.397 billion Emlayians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Priscilla Island. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Emlayian economy, worth 317 trillion Emlayoes 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,494 Emlayoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dream holidays often go awry, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, and common misteaks slip threw as the Issues Editing Team adds issues by the hundread (Emlay has found 2 easter eggs). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emlay's national animal is the Seahorse, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Emlay is ranked 43,102^nd in the world and 2,142^nd in Balder for Safest, scoring 104.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
