The Holy Necromantic Empire of The Emerald Legion is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The wizard with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.572 billion Legionairieses 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Emerald City. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emerald Legionian economy, worth an astonishing 10,822 trillion Bezants a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 332,266 Bezants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

No-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, many former slaves are finding out there is such a thing as a free lunch, and journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Emerald Legion's national animal is the Mechaneko, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a death cult.

The Emerald Legion is ranked 308,913^th in the world and 62^nd in Yggdrasil for Most Cultured, scoring -18 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
