The Cyberstate of Edush is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sab with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.728 billion Edushians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sendependeco. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edushian economy, worth 431 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,801 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police ransack more houses than criminals do, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edush's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Edush is ranked 314,001st in the world and 1st in Limpenia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -12.88 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
