The Rogue Nation of Empilooka is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The humorless, devout population of 1.44 billion Empilookans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.2%.

The thriving Empilookan economy, worth 115 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,042 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,219 per year while the poor average 22,521, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Empilookan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, cars are banned, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and Empilookan police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empilooka's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Empilooka is ranked 81,905^th in the world and 4,175^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 19.74 kickbacks per hour.
