The Republic of Ember I is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning kiwi population. The hard-working population of 4.55 billion Ember Iians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The Ember Iian economy, worth 178 trillion lire a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 39,173 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ember I's national animal is the kiwi.

Ember I is ranked 224,972^nd in the world and 4^th in Puppet Storage for Largest Governments, scoring 9.33 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
