The Queendom of Emagination is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Em with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.808 billion emaginations 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emagination. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse emagination economy, worth 190 trillion Emaginecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 105,624 Emaginecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support', one can wake up in Emagination and have breakfast in Bigtopia, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Emagination's national animal is the blue jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Emagination is ranked 13,876^th in the world and 388^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,295.72 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
