The Cyberstate of Edush is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sab with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.376 billion Edushians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sendependeco. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edushian economy, worth 389 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,369 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, people applying for famine relief must prove their gastrointestinal tracts are empty, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edush's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Edush is ranked 285,846th in the world and 1st in Limpenia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,845.15 Standard Monetary Units.
