Emergrad

The Republic of Emergrad is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 239 million Emergradians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.2%.

The very strong Emergradian economy, worth 17.5 trillion Eyralan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 73,082 Eyralan Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,137 per year while the poor average 20,199, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, and fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emergrad's national animal is the West Eyralan Hawk.

Emergrad is ranked 151,657th in the world and 14th in The Cortexist International for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 56.13 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
