The Cyberstate of Edush is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sab with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.452 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, 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 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edushian economy, worth 276 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 Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,751 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, Edush's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons. 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 11,710th in the world and 1st in Limpenia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,388.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
