The Federation of Edaria is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 463 million Edarians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edarian economy, worth 56.2 trillion euros 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, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 121,477 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, graffiti graces every city's streets, and drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edaria's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Edaria is ranked 291,991st in the world and 11,804th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 9.63 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
