The Capitalist Dictatorship of E D F is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lucius Kobel with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.527 billion E D F citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eos. The average income tax rate is 93.1%.

The frighteningly efficient E D Fian economy, worth a remarkable 2,108 trillion EDF credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 182,956 EDF credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hairdressers are forced to use all the tricks of the trade after citizens became required to wear helmets at all times, worrywarts have started advocating for a paint ban, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. E D F's national animal is the Chimera, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Capitalism.

E D F is ranked 287,165^th in the world and 1^st in Occupied Mars for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -11.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
