The People's Republic of Edonia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 250 million Edonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Edonian economy, worth 13.0 trillion ENCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,018 ENCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Edonia's national animal is the Black grouse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Edonia is ranked 74,224^th in the world and 87^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,116.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
