The Republic of Edmee is a small, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning Oriental Short Hair population. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 29 million Edmeenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Edmeean economy, worth 914 billion Sols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,540 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

For just a few extra Sols Edmeenians can get new driving records with their new cars, Furniture Restoration facilities are being turned into Oriental Short Hair habitats, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime is totally unknown. Edmee's national animal is the Oriental Short Hair, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Edmee is ranked 103,966^th in the world and 911^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 94.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
