The Infection of Edgemaster is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Haruhi Suzumiya with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 46.044 billion Burst Linkians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seireitei. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Burst Linkian economy, worth an astonishing 37,647 trillion Gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 817,648 Gils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,739,599 per year while the poor average 181,247, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

The sick are forced to play medicine lotteries to survive, the house always wins, history lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, and the prisoners of Azkatraz have a new emperor. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Edgemaster's national animal is the Hollow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Haruhiism.

Edgemaster is ranked 353^rd in the world and 2^nd in Capitalist Paradise for Highest Drug Use, scoring 421.9 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
