The Merchant Confederacy of Edegor and Bamir is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Vlastimil Prukner with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.591 billion Edegorians and Bamirians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Integarde and Damak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Edegorian and Bamirian economy, worth 667 trillion ㊆-coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 185,822 ㊆-coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,193,047 per year while the poor average 11,771, a ratio of 101 to 1.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, landfills fill the land, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Edegor and Bamir's national animal is the marshbeast, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Stellar Pantheon.

Edegor and Bamir is ranked 82,624^th in the world and 3,499^th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,069.74 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
