The Democratic Republic of New Emphillon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Edward Folkner with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 28.974 billion Emphillonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Prague. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient New Emphillonian economy, worth a remarkable 5,343 trillion korunas a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,439 korunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every school is receiving a brand new eraser, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, the latest superhero movie features a caped spy crab with adamantium claws, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Emphillon's national animal is the spy crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Emphillon is ranked 4,382^nd in the world and 187^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 173,632.32 Standard Monetary Units.
