The Free and Fair Republic of Dune-Aemiliana is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Noam Kadima with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.755 billion Dune-Aemilians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aemiliana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Dune-Aemilianan economy, worth a remarkable 4,361 trillion Golden Kadimas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 232,576 Golden Kadimas, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Noam Kadima wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, it's best not to ask what goes into Aemiliana Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime is well under control. Dune-Aemiliana's national animal is the Retardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dune-Aemiliana is ranked 3,395^th in the world and 140^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 667.47 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
