The Federated States of Eredonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bruce Maxwell with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.756 billion Eredonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Eredonian economy, worth 279 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 101,546 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 309,673 per year while the poor average 25,828, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Eredonian politicians, and the Eredonia Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eredonia's national animal is the Lion.

Eredonia is ranked 44,556^th in the world and 2,396^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,314.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
