The Violet Duchy of Emerie is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tar-Ciryatan with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.212 billion Emeris are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldalondė. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Emeriean economy, worth a remarkable 4,427 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 257,236 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, the state believes that nature-oriented summer camps will somehow solve youth crime, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and Tar-Ciryatan is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is totally unknown. Emerie's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Emerie is ranked 291,503rd in the world and 11,285th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -819.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
