"Unus Cum Viribus Duorum"
(One with the strength of two)
The Universal States of Edgelandia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Ned Edgewalker with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 6.523 billion Edgelandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westbrook. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Edgelandian economy, worth 766 trillion Edgebucks 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 Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,556 Edgebucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in President Ned Edgewalker's bedroom, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and stoned tourists don't tend to remember much about their holidays here. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edgelandia's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Based Haitchism.
