The Democratic Republic of Emindus is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 912 million Emindusians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emindus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Emindusian economy, worth 98.8 trillion freellars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 108,327 freellars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 536,821 per year while the poor average 12,395, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Protestors are soaking piles of freellars in blood to make a point about government incomes, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, and chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Emindus's national animal is the rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Emindus is ranked 181,802^nd in the world and 7,671^st in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.72 kickbacks per hour.
