The Republic of The Emerald Union is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by βουλή with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.804 billion δήμος enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Νεϕελοκοκκυγία. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient δήμος economy, worth a remarkable 1,849 trillion Nones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 156,642 Nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, prison visits increase substantially during election years, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Emerald Union's national animal is the ἀείσκωψ, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Emerald Union is ranked 287,564^th in the world and 11,177^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -503.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
