The Federal Republic of New Emberia is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 36 million New Emberians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The very strong New Emberian economy, worth 2.42 trillion Embermarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 67,352 Embermarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

New Emberia's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. New Emberia's national animal is the Emberfox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Emberia is ranked 100,020^th in the world and 183^rd in Nordic Lands for Most Patriotic, with 15.06 flags saluted per person per day.
