The Free Republic of Edolia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sasha Neumann with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.736 billion Edolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ebonfire. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Edolian economy, worth a remarkable 5,215 trillion Noteses a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,689 Noteses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, Edolia has designated Ebonfire as its capital city, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown. Edolia's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Edolia is ranked 11,257^th in the world and 8^th in Greater Ixnay for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,514.31 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
