The Most Serene Republic of Edelfield is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 8.33 billion Edelis are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Edeli economy, worth 498 trillion flowers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 59,825 flowers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,340 per year while the poor average 11,806, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. Crime is a problem. Edelfield's national animal is the nature, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Edelfield is ranked 29,607^th in the world and 1^st in Edel for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,677.88 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
