The Empire of ElectronicDataSystems is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.801 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 84%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, ElectronicDataSystems's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, and refugees from other nations are flocking to ElectronicDataSystems's border. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ElectronicDataSystems's national animal is the Furry Robotic Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Platinum Piece.

ElectronicDataSystems is ranked 141st in Texas and 115,897th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 8 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
