The Holy Empire of Edmulus is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Edmund with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.829 billion Edmulusians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edmulustown. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Edmulusian economy, worth a remarkable 5,575 trillion francs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 267,701 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The national defense strategy is a little floppy, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, the election for Edmund's office's janitor is heating up, and citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edmulus's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Edmusian.

Edmulus is ranked 5,033^rd in the world and 1^st in The Empire of Tamriel for Highest Average Incomes, with 267,701.41 Standard Monetary Units.
