The Colony of Embassys is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 18.545 billion Embassysians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Embassysian economy, worth 775 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,819 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Embassys's national animal is the fox.

Embassys is ranked 79,080^th in the world and 1^st in Embassy for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
