The United States of Emaha is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Denolia with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.962 billion Emahans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emaha City. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emahan economy, worth a remarkable 1,386 trillion Esoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,484 Esoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, Emaha recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, and the Emaha Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emaha's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Emaha is ranked 13,955^th in the world and 12^th in The Free Nations Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
