The Congress of Emu Republics is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Todd the Odd with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.676 billion Emuvians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avisia. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emuvian economy, worth 225 trillion Aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,287 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People have become comfortably numb, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, good-looking doctors are obliged by law to give foot rubs to Todd the Odd, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emu Republics's national animal is the Emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Enjoyers of the Todd.

Emu Republics is ranked 241,550^th in the world and 175^th in Lands End for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -14 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
