The Desert Island full of Emus and Papayas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Limu Emu with a fair hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.98 billion Papaya-Eating Emus 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 Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Papaya. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Papaya-Eating Emu economy, worth 274 trillion Papayas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,558 Papayas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, residents firmly believe there is no spoon (Emus and Papayas has found 4 easter eggs), increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and the official Papaya-Eating Emu Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Emus and Papayas's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Emu Christianity.

Emus and Papayas is ranked 15,332nd in the world and 418th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
