The Commonwealth of Eddonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edward S Deli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.369 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 Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sandy Loam. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eddonian economy, worth 111 trillion Eds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 81,444 Eds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Edward S Deli has just been declared ruler of Eddonia in an international press conference, mechanics are often exhausted by their work, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. 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 27,924^th in the world and 699^th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 104.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
