The Republic of Emiton is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Doral with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 34.864 billion Nevians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nevia. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Emitonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,379 trillion jockoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,987 jockoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spies caught in Emiton are never heard from again, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, and the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emiton's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Emiton is ranked 283,936^th in the world and 5,240^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 17.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
