The Dimension of of The Abyssal Realm of Edom is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 538 million Edomites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Bozrah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The powerhouse Edomite economy, worth 69.5 trillion Writhing Fleshes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,120 Writhing Fleshes, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, and lottery winners spend most of their money on security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Abyssal Realm of Edom's national animal is the Camel Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Abyssal Realm of Edom is ranked 217,766th in the world and 145th in Hell for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.48 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
