The Republic of Old Emporia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.329 billion Old Emporians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rapture. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Old Emporian economy, worth a remarkable 1,426 trillion dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 107,005 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime is totally unknown. Old Emporia's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Old Emporia is ranked 39,872nd in the world and 1,359th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
