The Ancient Republic of Magna Emerald is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.062 billion Emeraldians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Harbour. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Magna Emeraldian economy, worth 390 trillion gems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,532 gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, and politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"). Crime is totally unknown. Magna Emerald's national animal is the Winged-lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Magna Emerald is ranked 45,026^th in the world and 1^st in Liberal League for Highest Economic Output, with 390 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
