The Commonwealth of Royal Emerald Republic is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 628 million Anglo-Greeks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Royal Emerald Republician economy, worth 32.5 trillion Azumas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,686 Azumas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and businesses that prove successful are immediately broken up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Royal Emerald Republic's national animal is the Aegean Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Royal Emerald Republic is ranked 46,873^rd in the world and 71^st in Astoria for Safest, scoring 103.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
