The Socialist Federation of Emeraldisia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Julius Xavier with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.363 billion Emeraldisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emeraldisian economy, worth 168 trillion Emeraldisian Omegas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 123,518 Emeraldisian Omegas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, President Julius Xavier has promised 'power to the puppies', parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, and getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Emeraldisia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Reformist Christianity.

Emeraldisia is ranked 38,818^th in the world and 1,635^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,345.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
