The Republic of Old Emporia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.493 billion Old Emporians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rapture. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Old Emporian economy, worth a remarkable 1,452 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 107,644 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The New Rapture Times is sold out, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Elizabeth is a silly poophead. 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 16,479th in the world and 693rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 311.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
