The Commonwealth of Emoti is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 761 million Emoticons are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Emotian economy, worth 45.6 trillion colons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 59,896 colons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emoti's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Emoti is ranked 257,822^nd in the world and 241^st in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 13,955.81 Standard Monetary Units.
