The Semi-Presidential Republic of Emerald-Springs is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.198 billion Beryllians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viridium. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Beryllian economy, worth a remarkable 1,004 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,385 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, Emerald-Springs has designated Viridium as its capital city, Roman Catholicism has been named as Emerald-Springs's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Emerald-Springs in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emerald-Springs's national animal is the giant salamander, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Emerald-Springs is ranked 69,691st in the world and 3rd in Bus Stop for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
