The Cyberstate of Edush is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sab with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.283 billion Edushians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sendependeco. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edushian economy, worth 256 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,147 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edush's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Edush is ranked 113,930th in the world and 1st in Limpenia for Most Stationary, with 341.43487175932 days.
