The Legend of Ember Shadow is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.847 billion Nephmirians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong Nephmirian economy, worth 218 trillion golden threads a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 45,133 golden threads, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,892 per year while the poor average 2,829, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ember Shadow's national animal is the black griffin, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ember Shadow is ranked 143,764^th in the world and 3,384^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
