The Republic of Emory is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by WM the Greatish with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 46.495 billion Emoroids hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upland. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Emoryian economy, worth a remarkable 7,946 trillion Pomonas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,916 Pomonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emory's national animal is the house cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Emory is ranked 12,489^th in the world and 44^th in Gay for Highest Food Quality, scoring 146.51 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
