The Republic of Emory is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by WM the Greatish with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 51.686 billion Emoroids 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upland. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emoryian economy, worth a remarkable 8,733 trillion Pomonas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,971 Pomonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emory's national animal is the house cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Emory is ranked 16,174^th in the world and 34^th in Gay for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,855.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
