The Kind of Damp Soil of Eddonia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Edward S Deli with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.263 billion Eddonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sandy Loam. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eddonian economy, worth 330 trillion Eds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 77,459 Eds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Edward S Deli's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eddonia's national animal is the Rubber Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eddonia is ranked 56,408^th in the world and 783^rd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 537.88912102852 days.
