The Kingdom of Emerstari is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Eric XII Georg with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 21.033 billion Emerstarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Renshalle. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emerstarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,318 trillion Scilles a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,246 Scilles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, the nation's currency is required reeding, Emerstarians firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, and entomologists flock to Renshalle for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emerstari's national animal is the Emerstarian Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Emerstari is ranked 301,606^th in the world and 8^th in Arda en Estel for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
