Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Holy Empire of New Embliria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Embliri Trex with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.134 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Welfare and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Embliria. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

People caught mistreating New Embliria's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life, New Embliria has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Embliria's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Flay.

New Embliria is ranked 378th in Absolution and 101,568th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
