The Slave Kingdom of Emrishar is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The Immortal Emperor Malfezrec Ashkievan with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.363 billion Emrishari are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isharvei. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The Emrishari economy, worth 601 trillion silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,904 silvers, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, government ministers claim to ride dragons to work, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Isharvei, and concussed slugball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emrishar's national animal is the slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Slavery.

Emrishar is ranked 59,805^th in the world and 9^th in Atlantis for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,698.11 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
