The United Realms of Emdilur is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amtur with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.298 billion Emdilurians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geldrazet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Emdilurian economy, worth 232 trillion Kertus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 179,493 Kertus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,245,653 per year while the poor average 9,049, a ratio of 137 to 1.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and oilmen are in the business of greasing people's palms. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Emdilur's national animal is the Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chthonism.

Emdilur is ranked 61,118^th in the world and 82^nd in The League for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,667.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
