The Islamic Republic of Emmiria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Akram Sulaiman with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.796 billion Emmirians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhaga. The average income tax rate is 32.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Emmirian economy, worth 139 trillion Emmirian Rijas a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 77,753 Emmirian Rijas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and being Akram Sulaiman has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emmiria's national animal is the Ibex and its national religion is Islam.

Emmiria is ranked 59,478^th in the world and 40^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4,176.86 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
