The Federated Kingdom of Emerstari is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Erik XII Georg with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.531 billion Emerstarians 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.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hrenshållar and Kyrånes. The average income tax rate is 30.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emerstarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,007 trillion Skilles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,720 Skilles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Emerstarian selfishness, it isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. 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.

Emerstari is ranked 106,954^th in the world and 8^th in Arda en Estel for Most Politically Free, scoring 63.62 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
