The Commonwealth of Emoti is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.89 billion Emoticons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Emotian economy, worth 534 trillion colons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 90,768 colons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, planespotters are emigrating in droves, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, and the swagger of covering up is unparalleled. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emoti's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Emoti is ranked 113,048^th in the world and 5,590^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 88.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
