The Republic of Envedra is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.187 billion Envedrans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The strong Envedran economy, worth 335 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 54,185 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,229 per year while the poor average 3,396, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Envedra's national animal is the hermit crab, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Envedra is ranked 248,265^th in the world and 18^th in The Union of Rightwing Nations for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
