The Desert Island full of Emus and Papayas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Limu Emu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.997 billion Papaya-Eating Emus enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Papaya. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Papaya-Eating Emu economy, worth 276 trillion Papayas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,558 Papayas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, residents firmly believe there is no spoon (Emus and Papayas has found 4 easter eggs), increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and the official Papaya-Eating Emu Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Emus and Papayas's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Emu Christianity.

Emus and Papayas is ranked 32,134^th in the world and 736^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 209.58 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
