The Republic of Old Emporia

“There's Always a Lighthouse”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Old Emporia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working population of 6.849 billion Old Emporians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rapture. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Old Emporian economy, worth 763 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 111,470 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and stoned tourists don't tend to remember much about their holidays here. Crime is totally unknown. Old Emporia's national animal is the Crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Old Emporia is ranked 18,729^th in the world and 948^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 63.38 Atheism Rate.
