The Economy Wanting Republic of The Emerlid Grasslands is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.224 billion Emerlidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Emerlid Grasslandsian economy, worth 61.7 trillion Tiger coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,403 Tiger coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', going on a diet invalidates your passport, and years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Emerlid Grasslands's national animal is the Tasmanian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Emerlid Grasslands is ranked 171,160^th in the world and 826^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 239.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
