The Edge of Ekruteak is a colossal, pleasant nation, ruled by Nazgurth ner'Luhaiko with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 8.358 billion raiders 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ekruteak City. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The raider economy, worth 334 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,034 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, Nazgurth ner'Luhaiko has just been declared ruler of Ekruteak in an international press conference, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekruteak's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Violetism.

Ekruteak is ranked 266,097th in the world and 2,760th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 18,215.59 Standard Monetary Units.
