The State of EM is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.085 billion EMians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Environment and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The thriving EMian economy, worth 905 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 47,431 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,766 per year while the poor average 6,430, a ratio of 33.4 to 1.

A major religion has been named as EM's national religion, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. EM's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

EM is ranked 202,004^th in the world and 253^rd in Omega Prime for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.26 kickbacks per hour.
