The Democratic Republic of Eddodiad is a small, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Eddoes 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Eddodiadian economy, worth 484 billion Cynons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 18,619 Cynons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reinventing the wheel is a favourite pastime of Eddodiadian weapons designers, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, cars are banned, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eddodiad's national animal is the Draig Goch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eddodiad is ranked 267,924^th in the world and 90^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
