The Free Land of Emmie is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 9.029 billion Emmieans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.8%.

The powerhouse Emmiean economy, worth 705 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,124 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), and politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emmie's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Emmie is ranked 34,100^th in the world and 3^rd in Serenity for Largest Black Market, with 45.8 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
