The Infection of Edgemaster is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Haruhi Suzumiya with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 26.392 billion Burst Linkians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seireitei. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Burst Linkian economy, worth an astonishing 20,892 trillion Gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 791,617 Gils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,027,772 per year while the poor average 51,636, a ratio of 97.4 to 1.

The hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, the paparazzi publicize Royal scandals with the utmost delight, the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, and online tourism reviews of Edgemaster are suspiciously positive and amazingly similar. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edgemaster's national animal is the Hollow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Haruhiism.

Edgemaster is ranked 150,956^th in the world and 273^rd in Capitalist Paradise for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.21 Bananas Ingested Per Day.
