The Republic of Ember J is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.926 billion Ember Jians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The Ember Jian economy, worth 197 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,079 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, a major religion has been named as Ember J's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Ember J in an international press conference, and Ember J has designated Ember J City as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ember J's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ember J is ranked 253,899^th in the world and 7^th in Puppet Storage for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
