The Republic of Emiton is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Doral with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 34.884 billion Nevians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nevia. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Emitonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,385 trillion jockoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,051 jockoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emiton's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Emiton is ranked 8,659^th in the world and 205^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 437.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
