The United Socialist States of Emailistan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Chief Executive with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.014 billion Emailis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emailistan City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Emailistanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,537 trillion Units of Currency a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 289,740 Units of Currency, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emailistan's national animal is the Basset Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Decency.

Emailistan is ranked 274^th in the world and 6^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 7,387.24 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
