The Colony of Edmundian Pluto is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Atwell with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.443 billion Edmundian Plutonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Edward. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Edmundian Plutonian economy, worth 596 trillion Great Edmundian Royals a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 173,155 Great Edmundian Royals, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

A The Interdimensional Community Tourist Association survey has rated Edmundian Pluto #1 for number twos, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, Governor Atwell's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edmundian Pluto's national animal is the Asian Small-Clawed Otter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Church of Edmundia.

Edmundian Pluto is ranked 9,619^th in the world and 3^rd in The Interdimensional Community for Most Primitive, scoring 93.2 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
