The Community of The Ember Sea is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.35 billion Ember Seans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Industry aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Ember Sean economy, worth 454 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,568 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,552 per year while the poor average 9,423, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and The Ember Sea has designated The Ember Sea City as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Ember Sea's national animal is the sheep.

The Ember Sea is ranked 231,050^th in the world and 5^th in Codex Ylvus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
