The Emirate of Eastern Fedelm is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, otherworldly petting zoo, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.067 billion Eastern Fedelmians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Fedelmian economy, worth 344 trillion florins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 166,564 florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 900,093 per year while the poor average 15,965, a ratio of 56.4 to 1.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', only those who apply can study applied maths, terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, and most people think algebra is something a mermaid wears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Eastern Fedelm's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eastern Fedelm is ranked 2,643rd in the world and 25th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 19,194.48 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
