The Retired Governor of Emmeria Founder is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.551 billion Emmeria Founderians 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,060 Moons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Emmeria Founder's national animal is the Dolphin.
