The Confederated Comarcas of Smaragdina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Beryl Loīmecem with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.778 billion Smaragdines 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 Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lapantoha. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Smaragdine economy, worth a remarkable 1,234 trillion spiles a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,534 spiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, the single-issue Chocolates for Convicts Party recently won several council seats, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, and tabloids coo over Beryl Loīmecem's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Smaragdina's national animal is the swallow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pine Totemism.
Smaragdina is ranked 1,042nd in the world and 1st in Alcris for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,634.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
