The Dictatorship of Edgerville is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jashim Edgin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.387 billion Edgervilleans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edervillia. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Edgervillean economy, worth 120 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,697 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edgerville's national animal is the leopard and its national religion is Goonism.

Edgerville is ranked 56,846^th in the world and 545^th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,958.77 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
